The Cataloging and Metadata Management Section (CaMMS) and the RDA
Conference Forums and Programs Task Force (TF) are co-sponsoring the ALA
Midwinter RDA Update Forum, Sunday, January 22, 2011 1:30-3:30pm at the
Dallas Convention Center, Room C146. Panelists will outline key
cataloging changes related to RDA and steps being taken in preparation
for implementation sometime after January 2013. Although there is at
least a year before wide scale implementation of RDA, changes are
already impacting workflow and data exchange. In an effort to economize
on speakers and room space and to add emphasis to this topic CaMMS is
foregoing its Friday Forum to join with the TF in presenting this RDA
Forum. Scheduled presenters include: Beacher Wiggins (Library of
Congress), Linda Barnhart(Chair PCC), Glenn Patton (OCLC), John Attig
(JSC update), Sally McCallum (MARBI) and Troy Linker (ALA Publishing).
Please also join us for the RDA Conference Forums and Programs Taskforce
planning meeting directly following the RDA Update Forum. The Taskforce
will meet in Dallas Convention Center, Room D160 from 4:00 - 5:30 to
discuss sessions we are planning at ALA Annual. All are welcome and we
appreciate your feedback and ideas.
