On 17 October, the RSC will be delighted to welcome registered observers to its public session. Having previously published the agenda, we are pleased today to publish the papers as follows:
A new release was posted to RDA Toolkit last week. The September 2023 release is a minor one in terms of changes to the English text (corrections to typos and formatting, changes for consistency, and fixes of broken links), but there are two significant updates – the introduction of a new alternative Guidance menu and completion of the French language translation of official RDA.
The next meeting of the RSC will take place on 17-20 October inclusive at the offices of Die Österreichische Bibliothekenverbund und Service GMbH (OBVSG) in Vienna.
The agenda is available: RSC/Agenda/413-443. The two proposals under discussion are:
The RDA Steering Committee (RSC) and Die Österreichische Bibliothekenverbund und Service GMbH (OBVSG) are delighted to invite participants to a training event on Monday 16 October 2023, 1-4pm.
The RSC is happy to share the official outputs from its last meeting, as follows:
During the 3R Project, several RDA elements were identified as being redundant with other elements or were considered to be too granular in scope.
There's still time to apply! The deadline to submit an application has been extended to 11 October 2023
The RDA Steering Committee (RSC) seeks a qualified library professional with expertise in RDA and cataloging to take on the role of RDA Examples Editor for a two-year term.
The RSC made a commitment to the library community during the 3R Project that any existing element in original RDA would be retained as long as it did not conflict with the IFLA Library Reference Model (LRM).
As the Public Session of our meeting approaches on 2 August, we have just shared the following courtesy email to RDA-L, the discussion list for RDA.
