Survey on AI in Cataloging Open for Contributions
Dr Ahava Cohen (Chair) and the other members* of the newly-formed Joint RDA Board and RSC Working Group on Artificial Intelligence (AI) are very keen to hear the views of the cataloging community on the use of Artificial Intelligence in cataloging.
Survey on Soft-Deprecated Terms
During the 3R Project, several RDA elements were identified as being redundant with other elements or were considered to be too granular in scope.
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.
Practical Implications: A Look at Cataloguing a Book Using the New RDA
On August 21 of this year, the European RDA Interest Group, along with the IFLA Cataloguing Section and the IFLA Committee on Standards, sponsored an IFLA World Library and Information Congress satellite meeting in Thessaloniki, Greece, at the Central Library of Aristotle University.
