Use RDA-based workforms

Default workforms for creating bibliographic records and constant data in the client are based on Anglo-American Cataloging Rules (AACR2). You can choose instead to use workforms based on Resource Description and Access (RDA) by setting an option in Tools > Options > RDA.

If you use RDA workforms, you can also set an option in the RDA Options tab to enable showing RDA field descriptions for variable fields. You must be an RDA subscriber and enter your RDA Toolkit logon information in the RDA Options tab. Once you set the option and enter your information, to see an RDA Toolkit field description:

• With the cursor in a variable field, click Tools > RDA Toolkit.
  
   Note:
  • If you are not a subscriber but you are interested in subscribing, see details at RDA Toolkit Subscribe.
