Authors

Abstract

The article presents a study concerning the implementation of the new rules on cataloging, the Resource Description and Access (RDA), in the authorities’ catalog of the University of Caxias do Sul (UCS) library system. It shows the history of UCS library and the evolution of the systems used, culminating in the present authorities catalog. It cites the studies on the modification of the rules, for the authorities’ control, comparing the AngloAmerican Cataloguing Rules, 2nd. ed.(AACR2) and the RDA and theoretical perception acquired from these studies. It discusses the politics adopted by the team of librarians for the implantation of the new code in the authorities’ catalog and the definition of the MARC fields authorities that are to be used. The conclusion is given with examples of authorities registered in the library catalog and the impact generated in the academic community that uses this service.
