based on the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules(AACR) foundations and will
eventually replace the existing Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules. 2nd Edition

of principles and instructions on resource description and access for all
contents and media. It is based on the Functional Requirements for
Bibliographic Records (FRBR) to connect the user's retrieval job and access to
an online library catalogue and biographic database.RDA bibliographic entries
are more useful in an online setting becau.~e they allow cataloguers to group
similar records to display diverse expressions of the same work. Patrons could
discover that the information sources they seek are available in d!ferentforms
in the library. This paper investigated RDA as a new cataloguing standard. its
meaning of RDA, its Characteristics of RDA. the Need for new cataloguing rules
as well as its structure.
