| dc.description.abstract | Anglo–American Catalogue Rules II in 2008 and Resource Description and Access are basically used to catalogue. This study investigates differences between AACR II and RDA. Resource Description and Access is a new standard for describing and accessing knowledge. AACR depends on the ISBD standard, and RDA was based on Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) and Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD). According to this study, it can be identified differences of the catalogue rules such as parallel titles, statement of responsibility, publication information and dates, relationship designators, capitalization, treatment of typos or errors found on the resource, square brackets, and fictitious entities and non-human entities can be creators or contributors. As well, the fundamentals of AACR II and RDA are different. Mainly, AACR II is a printed source; rules are created for both content and display and designed for card catalogues. RDA is an online source and web-based one; rules are created only for the content and designed for a digital world. Therefore, Librarians have been focusing attention on RDA rules rather than AACR II to develop a future virtual library concept concerning web-based description and access to the digital world. | |
