The implementation of Resource Description and Access (RDA) has inspired much recent cataloging literature, which has been largely focused on understanding and employing RDA in general.1 Now that the initial shock has worn off, and catalogers have become more or less familiar with the basics of RDA, the need for more specific how-to manuals such as this one can begin to be met. Devoted entirely to cartographic resources, this book offers a focused look at how RDA will affect the cataloging of cartographic resources, complete with useful examples and explanations. All three authors are experienced and distinguished catalogers of cartographic resources, and as a result, this book is practical in nature, using theory only to explain the reasoning behind the changes introduced by RDA.
