Resource Description and Access (RDA)

Resource Description and Access (RDA) is a standard set of guidelines used by librarians to catalog and organize library resources like books, digital media, and other materials. It helps ensure consistent, accurate, and detailed descriptions of resources, making it easier for users to find and identify items. RDA focuses on capturing essential information about each resource, such as title, author, publication details, and subject matter, in a way that supports modern digital catalog systems and enhances discoverability across various formats and platforms.
