Are you looking for examples of RDA catalog records? There are now
many records available in the Library of Congress online catalog. To
search for these records, follow these steps:

1. Go to http://catalog.loc.gov
2. Click on Basic Search.
3. Select Expert Search from the Search Type menu.
4. Type "040e rda" (without the quotation marks) in the Search Text
box.
5. Click the Begin Search button.

After you've found a record that interests you, you can click on the
Full Record tab to see all of the information in the record. Click on
the MARC Tags tab to see the MARC fields.

When I did this search today, it resulted in 1943 records, and I'm
sure that more are being added all the time!

Very cool! I am happy to see how we can look at these records. I have looked at a few from the University of Chicago as well.
