RESEARCH ON LIBRARY DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGING RDA Bibliography Hello Dear Library Professionals:  I have compiled a list of some Masters, M.Phil., and Ph.D. thesis and dissertation on descriptive cataloging which may be available in print and/or online, in the form of a blog post: RDA Bibliography – Thesis (from OCLC WorldCat).  URL: https://rdabibliography.wordpress.com/2015/10/17/rda-bibliography-thesis/ It seems not much research work is done on descriptive cataloging , though it is one of the most fundamental activities of librarianship, library and information science. The other possibility is that researches have been done but not documented at some "single place" for consultation. With the emergence of Resource Description & Access ( RDA ), as the successor of  Anglo-American Cataloging Rules ( AACR2 ), it becomes necessary to do quality research works on the descriptive cataloging using RDA and AACR2 and evaluating its significance...

The Libhub Initiative aims to raise the visibility of Libraries on the Web by actively exploring the promise of BIBFRAME and Linked Data.   The objective of The Libhub Initiative is to publish BIBFRAME resources to the Web, cross-link resources which are common among libraries, and, through cross-linking improve the ability for people to discover these resources on the open Web. The goal is ultimately that users would then be able to click on appropriate resources and be taken back to the library’s catalog.  Libraries and memory organizations have rich content and resources the Web can't see or use today -- effectively making them dark collections and invisible archives. IMAGINE if libraries could represent themselves together in a way the Web could see and understand. This unified voice and utility is among the core promises of BIBFRAME and the Linked Data in Libraries movement.   [Source: Libhub ] BIBFRAME (Bibliographic Framework) is a d...
