These include upcoming opportunities:

Ángela also reported that ABINIA (the Association of National Libraries of Ibero-America) is running a series of training sessions on Official RDA, which began in March and will run until November. Each session is attended by an average of 300 people working in national libraries.

We look forward to hearing more about RDA implementation in Latin America at future RSC meetings.
