ORDAC, in collaboration with the National Library of Australia, maintains an email discussion list for RDA as it relates specifically to the Oceania region. A forum for discussing RDA cataloguing issues, the list is an opportunity to build professional networks, and learn about new products and services related to RDA and its implementation.
The Oceania RDA Committee (ORDAC) is responsible for representing the Oceania Region on the RDA Steering Committee.
We are working to expand the coverage of ORDAC beyond Australia and New Zealand, and encourage input from communities in other parts of Oceania with an interest in RDA. You are warmly invited to contact the Secretary of ORDAC to find out more.
