Mexico RDA Group: Series on RDA Concepts
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us to present articles that we hope will help those transitioning to Official RDA this year, before Original RDA is withdrawn as a live product in May 2027.
Like the February release, the June 2026 release is another light one. It includes a the addition of a few examples to guidance on normalized transcription. Updates and corrections were made to policy statements from the British Library, the U.S. Library of Congress - PCC, RMBS, OLAC, MLA, and the National Library of New Zealand.
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.

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