Abstract

In early 2013, Belizean librarians from the Consortium for Belize Educational Cooperation (COBEC) intimated the need to have training in Resource Description and Access (RDA). Their request was for a weeklong workshop that would coincide with a future COBEC conference and that would be offered to all tertiary-level institutions in the country. The objective for this training would be to give the Belizeans practical experience with cataloging a variety of collection materials according to the new international standard. This case study documents the experience of the trainers in developing and implementing RDA training for the librarians in the country of Belize. It includes the design and development of an RDA workshop that spanned 5 days, funding for the workshop, assessment of the workshop's effectiveness, and the provision of Continuing Education Unit certificates from Valdosta State University. Future developments for providing additional RDA training conclude the report.
