TL;DR: This article summarizes the unique issues of Israeli cataloging, the preparations for adjusting them to RDA, and for nationwide implementation.
Abstract: Israeli cataloging has traditionally followed American standards, with the exception of vernacular cataloging for Hebrew, Arabic and Cyrillic scripts. Each change in American rules has led to the need to adjust Israeli cataloging standards accordingly. The Library of Congress decision to implement Resource Description and Access (RDA) in April 2013 led to the conclusion that the Israeli libraries had no choice but to also adopt RDA. The Israeli Inter-University Cataloging Committee held several meetings in 2012 and 2013 regarding the implications of RDA. This article summarizes the unique issues of Israeli cataloging, the preparations for adjusting them to RDA, and for nationwide implementation.

TL;DR: Whether BIB FRAME fulfills expectations of Linked Data based cataloging as well as whether BIBFRAME shows promise in overcoming drawbacks to MARC-based cataloging are examined.
Abstract: This research paper examines Library of Congress’ Biblographic Framework Transition Initiative, or BIBFRAME, through the lens of current Library and Information Science literature on introducing Linked Data principles into cataloging. This research paper aims to find whether BIBFRAME fulfills expectations of Linked Data based cataloging as well as whether BIBFRAME shows promise in overcoming drawbacks to MARC-based cataloging as expressed in the literature.

TL;DR: The author creates a sample RDA workflow for serials cataloging using the online RDA Toolkit, based on the two JSC sample workflows, Simple Book and Transcription.
Abstract: The author creates a sample RDA (Resource Description and Access) workflow for serials cataloging using the online RDA Toolkit. The serials workflow presented here is based on the two JSC sample workflows, Simple Book and Transcription, which were issued with the final draft of RDA in November 2008 for constituency review, and also on chapter 12 of second edition of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules.

TL;DR: Examination of RDA book cataloging records produced in OCLC after RDA implementation finds work-to-work bibliographic relationships are most frequently recorded in both PCC records and non-PCC records, while expression- to-expression relationships are recorded the least in PCC.
Abstract: This research examines the characteristics and types of bibliographic relationships in Resource Description and Access (RDA) book cataloging records produced in OCLC after RDA implementation. Data was sampled (n = 1,550), coded, and analyzed for work-to-work, expression-to-expression, and manifestation-to-manifestation relationships. Results show work-to-work bibliographic relationships are most frequently recorded in both PCC records (57.4%) and non-PCC (59.5%); expression-to-expression are recorded the least in PCC (8.3%) and non-PCC (15.8%); and manifestation-to-manifestation relationships fall between with PCC (34.4%) and non-PCC (24.7%). This study also investigates the MARC fields used to record relationships and common characteristics in cataloging records with bibliographic relationships.
