The purpose of this study is to review the preparation for and implementation of Resource Description and Access (RDA) at the Elihu Burritt Library at Central Connecticut State University. The Elihu Burritt Library is the only library supporting the scholarly community of Central Connecticut State University, a medium-sized 4-year public institution. With the publication of the RDA Toolkit in June 2010, Cataloging & Metadata Services (CMS) began in earnest to prepare its department, catalog, library, and consortium for the transition to the new cataloging standard. The year 2010 also marked a significant decrease in staff for CMS due to retirements and budget concerns. Despite the lost positions and increased workload, CMS was determined to move forward with preparations for RDA.read more
