News & Information

The March 2022 release is the first since migration of the RDA Toolkit to new servers in January 2022. It includes updates to policy statements from the Library of Congress - Program for Cooperative Cataloging, the British Library and Music Library Association Best Practices.

The issues related to the recent site migration are now largely resolved. The site migration also included a switch to new authentication service, and as a result some practices will be altered. These new practices are described below.

Unfortunately we have encountered several unexpected problems with the server migration. I apologize for how these problems have negatively affected users work and events. I did want to give everyone a detailed run down of the issues we are facing and the current status of our attempts to resolve these issues. 

RDA Toolkit is experiencing login issues related to the recent server migration. We apologize for the interruption to service that some are facing. We are working hard to resolve this issue and ask for your patience.

Also, part of this transition is the introduction of new admin site that is still under construction. The old admin site is not currently available, but we hope to have the new site running later this week.

Please do continue to report your issues to us at rdatoolkit@ala.org.

The migration of RDA Toolkit and the original RDA Toolkit to new servers will not occur during the week of October 25th, as previously planned. It is not clear when exactly the migration will occur, but it is expected to move before the end of 2021. You can learn more about the migration and its impact here.
