A very warm welcome to our July Meeting from RSC Chair Renate Behrens (pictured). 

RSC Chair Renate Behrens (pictured) is looking forward to welcoming observers to the Public Session of the RSC on Tuesday 28 July at 6:00pm UTC. (There is a handy time converter here).

On 13-14 July, RSC Wider Community Engagement Officer Getaneh Alemu was delighted to welcome librarians from across sub-Saharan Africa to webinars on RDA delivered by RSC Education and Orientation Officer Elisa Sze (pictured). 

El reloj de la cuenta regresiva para el RDA Toolkit Original comenzó a medianoche del 11 de mayo, hora de Hawái-Aleutianas (UTC -10). En este breve seminario web se explicará qué significa el reloj de cuenta regresiva para las instituciones de catalogación; qué pasará con el RDA Toolkit Original; y cómo realizar la transición a RDA Oficial.

The RDA Steering Committee would like to thank Karen Pierce and Fran Frenzel, the editors of Catalogue and Index, for allowing us to present articles that we hope will help those transitioning to Official RDA this year, before Original RDA is withdrawn as a live product in May 2027. 

Wider Community Engagement Officer Getaneh Alemu (pictured) is looking forward to welcoming cataloguers across Africa to a 2-part webinar series designed with their working context in mind. Education and Orientation Officer Elisa Sze will deliver these interactive sessions and is looking forward to meeting colleagues online. 

The RSC was happy to welcome members of the RDA Board to an executive session of the April 2026 Meeting. 

Following approval by members of both committees, the Minutes (RSC-RDABoard/Minutes/023-036) are now available on the website and ALAIR. 

The RDA Steering Committee has approved publication of the minutes of the April Meeting. 

You can access them on the Minutes page of the website or on ALAIR.

In its April 2026 Meeting, the RSC approved most of the terms proposed in RSC/TranslationsTLO/2026/1, with the proviso that its implementation be delayed until the set of terms dealing with scribe agent, etc.
