I would like to announce a new service being offered by VTLS Inc.

The RDA Sandbox*/ /*is a special program designed to provide tools by 
which Libraries and librarians can practice creating MARC records 
following the Resource Description and Access (RDA) Implementation One

Scenario. That is, creating Work, Expression, Manifestation, and Item 
(WEMI) records as defined in the Functional Requirements for 
Bibliographic Records (FRBR).

As a participant in the program you will have access to a Virtua^® 
database with over 250,000 MARC FRBRized linked records (Work, 
Expression, and Manifestations). You will also be provided with a 
specially customized Virtua^® cataloging client which will allow you to

create, modify, and delete your own RDA records.  Special documentation

and email support will be available to help you get started. Learn RDA

by playing in our Sandbox!

Further information can be found at www.vtls.com/services/rdasandbox

Wonderful! Even though I was shamefully negligent in following it, I have been 
missing the discussions on RDA-L.  Thank you!

ALA Connect is a new platform ALA is using for committee work as well as
less formal information sharing and networking.  We have created a
community for RDA, open to nonmembers of ALA,  which is available at:

http://connect.ala.org/RDAforum 

 

Please join the community. Below are functions of the ALA Connect
platform.

 

-Posts (which are like blog posts)

-Online docs (which are like collaborative, wiki-like pages or Google
Docs)

-Group calendar (for listing meetings, deadlines, etc.)

-Surveys (for asking multiple questions at once)

-Polls (for asking a single question)

-Chat room (text-based, including the ability to save a transcript of
the discussion)

-Discussion forums (also known as bulletin boards)
