I read two books on RDA these days. One is RDA: from Theory to Practice by ZHOU Deming, Deputy Director of the Shanghai Library. The other is Chinese Cataloging and RDA by Prof. WANG Songlin, a well-known scholar.

Prof. WANG Songlin's "Chinese Cataloging and RDA" Published

Today, I received Prof. WANG Songlin's new book "Chinese Cataloging and RDA" published by the Ocean Press (Beijing) in June 2014.

As one of a series of textbooks for library and information professionals, this is a good book for people to get a general idea of RDA.

Prof. Wang is a well-known scholar in Chinese library cataloging community. He published a number of monographs on information organization, attended IME ICC4 in Seoul, 2006, and just retired in 2013.
