- Abstract
- In order to plan for the future of our libraries, it is important to have some foresight into the user experience as well as the operational changes expected to affect librarians. Training library staff on the new RDA guidelines will take time, and those with previous exposure to its conceptual differences from AACR2 may find the adaptation to be smoother. This paper examines the reactions of library users and professional catalogers to bibliographic test records created in accordance with RDA, and it identifies the positive and negative changes they expect it will bring to the catalog. Content analysis identifies the most frequently mentioned concerns expressed by participants in the RDA Test Record Use Survey and provides insight into how catalogers expect user experience be improved by RDA, if at all.
