About the author
Reviews
Reflecting the new modelling for serials introduced by IFLA’s Library Reference Model in the most recent revisions to RDA, this up-to-date resource is an important tool for day-to-day practice as well as a reference manual for unusual or difficult cases.
Serials and continuing resources present a variety of unique challenges in bibliographic management, from special issues and unnumbered supplements to recording the changes that a long-running periodical can experience over time. Of this book’s first edition, the
Australian Library Journal
declared, “Highly recommended for any situation – technical service departments or library students – where serials need to be cataloged using RDA protocols.” Jones, a serials authority in the field and a major contributor to the 3R Project, here updates his authoritative text. Framing the practice within the structure of the IFLA LRM conceptual model on which RDA is now based, and its new modelling of serials, his guide
introduces the concept of diachronic work and explains how serials, as a type of diachronic work, can be described using the new attribute element extension plan;
explores new developments after the completion of the 3R Project, with references to AACR2 as a touchstone;
introduces the new term work group and demonstrates its usefulness in enabling relationships and supporting collocation;
demonstrates how serials catalogers' work fits in the cooperative context of OCLC, CONSER, and NACO; and
presents examples of how RDA records can ultimately engage with the Semantic Web.

Ed Jones
Ed Jones

Over this time, he has represented various institutions on the CONSER Operations Committee and has served on many CONSER and Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) committees and task groups, including as CONSER representative to the PCC Policy Committee and cochair of the PCC Standing Committee on Standards (SCS). He is currently cochair of the SCS Task Group on CONSER Policies for Official RDA in MARC. He has spoken extensively on RDA and its underlying conceptual models over the years, serving as an RDA advisor for the Original RDA Toolkit and more recently chairing the Serials Task Force of the RSC Aggregates Working Group during the RDA Toolkit Restructure and Redesign (3R) Project.

"A much-needed update and revision ... Ed Jones is a well-respected serials cataloger who has been actively involved in the development of serials cataloging policies for RDA. He has used his experience and expertise to create an authoritative serials cataloging manual that integrates Official RDA with other cataloging standards and guidelines into one resource."
— Technicalities
"This book by Ed Jones is your key to demystifying that trifecta of complicated cataloguing scenarios – Official RDA, serials, and MARC21 ... [It] should be a valued addition to any cataloguing bookshelf. It describes how to handle serials cataloguing in a way that is easy to read and makes sense. Serials should not be shrouded in mystery, and
RDA and Serials Cataloging
is a very useful tool to combat any anxiety associated with serials cataloguing."
— Catalogue & Index
"Within this text you will find everything you need to get initiated with serials and recent changes to RDA ... Acknowledging the ever changing landscape of cataloguing and the static nature of this manual, Jones has provided a comprehensive tool for use by students or monograph catalogers like myself who have not delved into serials before. After reading this, I have the confidence to start serials cataloging projects within my own workplace. The text is written with enough humor to liven up an extremely dry topic, the structure is well thought out, and there are enough examples to get you out of the stickiest situations."
— Journal of the Australian Library and Information Association
Praise for the first edition
"A refreshing lack of tentativeness makes this a usable manual for hands-on practitioners. There is no ‘hemming and hawing' over matters where RDA is still a moving target and continuing to develop … Working catalogers will be able to use this manual for day-to-day practice and will find it of lasting value as a reference manual for unusual or difficult cases. It will be found useful in libraries large and small and can serve as a reassuring introduction to the cataloging of serial publications. Deft deployment of wry humor makes the book pleasantly readable."
— Collection Building
"Highly recommended for any situation – technical service departments or library students – where serials need to be catalogued using RDA protocols."
