MARC Standards & RDA
MARC 21 formats are standards for the representation and communication of bibliographic information. It's machine-readable and generally easy to transfer between systems.
Resource Description & Access (RDA) is a combination of elements, guides, and instructions for creating resource metadata . It was introduced in 2010 and approved in 2014, but not everyone is aware
Important Changes
Series has moved from 490 to 830.
Alexandria uses the 830 tag for series searches in Researcher, so it's important for your series information to be in that tag.
To make sure all of your series information is in the right place, run the Fix Series utility. You can also run this utility anytime you import new MARC records and notice series information is in the 490 tag.
Publisher has moved from 260 to 264.
