Abstract: Description source of information is the source of selecting content of the descriptive entries in
document description. There is a significant difference between Chinese Bibliographical Cataloging Rules
and RDA in terms of its regulations. RDA defines the related concepts more clearly and specifically, while
its regulations on the description information source for monograph title and statement of responsibility
also more reasonable. The author believes that Chinese cataloging should draw upon RDA, therefore. 

Key words: Chinese Bibliographical Cataloging Rules, RDA, Description source of information
