“…Scholars have only recently studied the implementations of RDA in libraries and especially in libraries’ consortium at the theoretical and empirical levels. Cronin (2011) studied the participation of the University of Chicago Library in the US National Libraries RDA test by focusing on staff training on RDA and the RDA Toolkit (Wu et al , 2016). The paper analyzed the influence of RDA implementation on local cataloging policies, local LIS modification and acquisitions protocol.…”

“…The paper analyzed the influence of RDA implementation on local cataloging policies, local LIS modification and acquisitions protocol. According to Sanner (2012), the role of the staff and its training concerning RDA is the key factor that leads to a successful implementation (Wu et al , 2016). According to McCutcheon (2012), the key factor of a successful implementation of RDA is related more to well-structured local policies that facilitate catalogers’ implementation of new rules.…”

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to investigate how Swiss public libraries are experiencing a normative revolution connected to new cataloging standards, such as RDA and the FRBRization of catalogs. Design/methodology/approach-Thanks to semi-structured interviews, the paper analyzes the current positioning of Swiss public libraries on the "bibliographic transition" issue by using a case study of the network of municipal libraries in Geneva. Findings-In Switzerland, the federal and multi-linguistic structure of the library networks increases the organizational obstacles to the adoption of new cataloging principles and formats. At the local level, the Swiss municipal libraries have to cope with this complexity to transform their structures and continue to offer competitive and effective services to their users. Practical implications-The paper proposes six scenarios of technology watershed for the analyzed case study and their consequences for cataloging standards and rules. Social implications-The paper shows how the adoption of technological and conceptual innovations has to be done in the face of real organizational and administrative constraints, especially in the case of public lending libraries. Originality/value-The paper analyzes at the empirical and theoretical levels how, especially in Switzerland, the variety of governance levels and linguistic areas have made strategizing more complex for public lending libraries.

“…All of them, however, agreed that an implementation by the national libraries is a strong incentive for their institutions to follow suit (Cronin, 2011: 628;Hanford, 2014: 152). Some case studies iterated more detailed reasoning behind the implementation, such as the use of relationship designators to pave the way towards FRBRised catalogues and linked data (Jin and Sandberg, 2014;Maurer and Panchyshyn, 2014;Wu et al, 2016). Surprisingly, from the surveyed case studies, there were few similarities with the Library of Congress' reasons to adopt RDA, the common one being better linking between resources.…”

“…Research on RDA seems to exist among Italian and UK publications, although it is conceivable that much nation-specific research was beyond the researchers' access. In Italy, the majority of articles discuss the development and applicability of RDA as an international standard, and some draw comparison with other international initiatives in cataloguing (Buttò, 2016;Rodriguez, 2016). One of the more practical studies is a comparison between the Italian cataloguing rules -Regole italiane di catalogazione (REICAT), published in 2009 and based on FRBR -and RDA.…”

“…Most institutions reported that a lot of attention was dedicated to the creation of policies to go with the new instructions and that those were mostly based on the LC/PCC Policy Statement (Wacker and Han, 2013;Wu et al, 2016). Other aspects mentioned were the process of gradually transitioning to RDA, by giving cataloguers plenty of time to adjust to the change without setting deadlines (Hanford, 2014: 162) and the formation of specialised working groups to work on different aspects of the implementation (Morris and Wiggins, 2016).…”

This research explored the implementations and perceptions of the Resource Description and Access (RDA) cataloguing standard in Europe. It refers to the development and implementation of the standard among Anglo-American libraries and draws comparisons between them. It examines the spread and application of RDA throughout Europe both by analysing the available literature and by conducting interviews with professionals at 12 European national libraries.The results highlight the issues faced by the European institutions and the unique perspectives that emerge from implementing RDA in different languages and cultures. European institutions demonstrate a higher level of involvement and interest in the development of RDA and a stronger desire to work towards RDA interoperability and alignment with the cultural heritage sector. The European implementation drives forward the internationalisation of RDA by actively seeking solutions to the issues in the new standard arising from the cultural and linguistic diversity.
