Abstract: Korean library circle has always been keeping a close eye on the development of RDA. They have translated the final draft of RDA into Korean version, organized the education and training activities, revised Korea Machine Readable Cataloging, revised Korean Cataloging Rules, revised KERIS Union KORMARC Guide and done research on RDA. All the practices indicate that Korea has actively explored RDA and has a tendency to implement RDA. Because the union cataloging of Korean literatures in China has shared Korean source data of KERIS, RDA practices of Korean library circle have a great impact on the union cataloging of Korean literatures in China. Therefore, it has been required to trace research on the change of Korean cataloging standards, make detailed rules on Korean literature description, and enhance the education training of Korean literature cataloging in China.

Key words: Korea, Library, Resource Description and Access(RDA), Cataloging of Korean literatures
