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)
