This study proposes to examine the descriptive representation of books in Braille by comparing the AACR2 and RDA cataloguing codes. The justification is supported by the proximity to the theme throughout the year 2021, through academic activities provided by the Graduation. The extension activity carried out in the Braille Section of the Arthur Vianna Public Library (BPAV) and by scarce studies on the cataloguing of books in Braille in the cataloguing codes. The methodology adopted in the
research was descriptive as to the objective, with a qualitative approach and of a basic nature. The procedures used were bibliographical research for the construction of the theoretical framework, through the cataloguing history, based on the ideas and thoughts of authors such as Bräscher; Café (2008), Mey (1995), Mey and Silveira (2009), in conceptual cataloguing models FRBR, FRAD, FRSAD and IFLA LRM and normative documents elaborated by IFLA. A documentary research was also carried out, with the codes AACR2 and RDA in the cataloguing of the book in Braille. The study of the codes was thought from the need to understand the RDA, its structure, focus, scope and instructions, its relationship with the AACR2, adequacy to the MARC 21, and its application in the cataloguing of the book in Braille. It was concluded that the RDA brings a universal language, making it more accurate in the recovery of information explored by the user and it is observed the creation of new fields in the MARC 21, shaping the new RDA guidelines. It ends with the certainty of the need for continued learning to better understand the changes and the functioning that the new code brings to cataloguing, not only in the cataloguing of books in Braille, but for all the resource cataloged through the RDA.
