GET STARTED WITH THE RDA TOOLKIT!

It's as easy as . . .


Log in to Your Subscription

If your institution's name is visible in the upper right corner of the window, then you're already logged into your subscription. If not, enter your subscription Account ID and Password in the login boxes.

Create a User Profile

Next, create a User Profile by clicking the "Create" button. If you already have a User Profile, enter your Profile Name and Password in the login boxes.

Browse or Search

On the RDA tab to the left, click the plus sign to expand and browse the RDA table of contents. On the Tools tab you can browse the RDA Element Set as well as workflows and maps. Search RDA only from the "RDA Quick Search" box above, or use Advanced Search to search RDA and other documents.
