On the first of April 2013, a new history of cataloging rules will be
started. Resources Description and Access (RDA) will be applied
officially by major libraries in America and Europe; RDA will be applied
after a period of experimental work. RDA was launched after cooperative
efforts of major organizations in the global library community.
This conference aiming at leading the Arab library community to involve
in the new history of cataloging. The conference will discuss very
important issues related to RDA and challenges that face the Arab
library community. Translation issues of RDA will be deeply discussed.
The conference will also discover the changes between AACR2 and RDA on
bibliographic records and authority files.
