Posted here are links to training examples relating to RDA at the Library of Congress. Some of these examples were prepared for the 2010 US RDA Test at the Library of Congress. They will be revised and updated during the preparation period.
The examples illustrate differences between AACR2 and RDA. Some examples have only a few fields; others are more complete. Some are made-up examples. Some examples illustrate more than one category but only appear in one category. RDA citations and other comments accompany some examples.
