Why Should You Convert to RDA?
It's true that RDA conversion isn't for everyone, but here are a few reasons you might want to convert.
- Your district or consortium is converting and you need to bring your database up to speed, the sooner the better!
- You want to make the items in your collection easier for your patrons to find. RDA is better for the end user since there's more information
written in plain language.
- You want to clean up the variety of abbreviations and formatting and make everything consistent. No more Latin abbreviations or inconsistent date formats.
- You want to increase access points for your collection. More access points equal more discoverability, increasing collection circulation and minimizing wasted materials.
