Normalizing RDA capitalization with OCLC Connexion macros
One immediately noticeable difference in RDA records is capitalization that differs from the AACR2 standard. Depending on the cataloger, the same movie might have its title recorded as any of:

girl with the dragon tattoo
into the title field of Connexion. He got no hits. Why?
