There is a new approach in revising AACR2 Rules. To incorporate the online envirnement, the new Code will be know as "RDA:Resource Description and Access". Present AACR2 has only "Description" part, ie describing an item. New code will have an added part "Access", ie access control of an item. FRBR is the basis for Part A (Description) of RDA, and FRAD is the basis for Part B (Access Point Control). As per the schedule made by Joint Steering Committee, it will be published in 2009.

Dear Professionals',
