March 2023 RDA Toolkit Release

A new release of RDA Toolkit was ready on March 24, 2023, but due to some technical issues, its posting was delayed until March 27th. The release was a small one compared to past releases. Minor changes to English language RDA were made for the purpose of clarity and consistency.

How to Propose a Change to RDA

The “Submit Feedback” link in the official RDA Toolkit enables users to provide information about typos, errors, and broken links, as well as suggested changes to the text. Some of this feedback has resulted in updates to RDA. But for more significant changes to RDA, cataloging communities have another venue to suggest modifications: the RDA change proposal process.
