Awareness and Use of Resource Description and Access {RDA) for Cataloguing among Librarians in University Libraries in Southwest Nigeria :- Jude-Iwuoha, Adeaze U.
Abstract
Cataloguing
is a conventional method of describing library resources bibliographically
using the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rule" edition (AACR2) as a standard.
A practice which has a long history of usage since its introduction has
remained a universally accepted standard by Librarians globally. However, as a
result of the emergence of c-resources in the 20" century, the AACR2 has
become deficient in scope, this situation led to the development and
implementation of Resource Description and Access (RDA) which takes into
cognizance the limitations in the AACR2, which descriptive scope did not cover
the newly evolving e-resources. The study adopted a descriptive survey design
and questionnaire in the collection of data from respondents. The data were
analyzed using simple percentage. The study revealed that majority of the
respondents are aware of resource description and access, but RDA is not used
for cataloguing in their university libraries. Consequently, this situation has
led to none implementation of RDA in their University Libraries. In view of the
above, this present study will examine awareness and use of RDA for cataloguing
in university libraries in Southwest, Nigeria. Keywords: Resource Description
