The new beta Toolkit includes some significant differences in how the instructions are organized and arranged. Some may have trouble locating where some instructions have moved to. Linda Barnhart, the RSC Secretary, and Kate James, the RDA Examples Editor, prepared the document linked to below contains a partial list of elements and instructions that have changed from the original Toolkit to the beta Toolkit. Download this document as an introduction to how the instructions have been reorganized.

We have heard from some users that examples have been few and far between. Because the RDA text is still a work in progress on the beta site, it has been difficult to write examples. When the 3R Project is complete we expect there to be many more examples in the new Toolkit as compared to the original one. Also the new Toolkit will feature new types of examples, including examples for recording methods, relationship examples, and examples in context. The attached list will guide users to instructions with a variety of examples.

RDA should be a core component of any cataloging course or training, and we want to ensure that access is easily available to LIS programs for instructors and students. As of October 17, 2017 we are announcing a new LIS pricing model:

30 users for $500
50 users for $800
