Announcing the Spanish Language Translation of Official RDA

A Spanish language translation of official RDA is now available in the RDA Toolkit. The translation arose from an agreement between the copyright holders of RDA and ABINIA, and the work of the translation was completed by a small staff at the National Library of Mexico with support from INFORMACIÓN CIENTÍFICA INTERNACIONAL and the RDA Toolkit staff. Like all RDA translations, the Spanish translation is freely accessible to all RDA Toolkit subscribers.

This translation follows only weeks after the formation of the Grupo RDA América Latina y el Caribe (RDA-ALyC) and its inclusion in the RDA governance structure. The official announcement of the formation of Grupo RDA LAyC is here.

The Spanish translation comes more than 7 months before the launching of the countdown clock that will lead to the removal of the original RDA Toolkit in May of 2027. Spanish language training materials are laready available here, and we expect more to come.
