RDA and Cartographic Resources is a well-written and timely overview of the instructions found in Resource Description and Access (RDA) for cataloging print maps, globes, atlases, and maps in electronic form. Organized into five chapters and seven appendixes, it includes a short history of cataloging rules for cartographic materials, descriptions of the changes between AACR2 and RDA, an introduction to FRBR concepts, and field by field instructions for cataloging.The book is strengthened by many illustrations and examples including MARC records and fields; and side-by-side RDA and AACR2 examples that readers will find very helpful. The book is well-written and will reassure catalogers as they build confidence in applying RDA to their cataloging. It is a strong addition to the growing field of publications addressing RDA and its application to a variety of formats. I recommend RDA and Cartographic Resources for personal and professional libraries where there is need and interest.
