As the PCC liaison to ALA's Committee on Cataloging: Description and
Access (CC:DA), my responsibilities include:
- Collecting PCC feedback on proposals and discussion
papers regarding changes to RDA
- Providing those comments to CC:DA to help inform the
ALA position on each paper
- Facilitating the creation and dissemination of PCC
proposals for RDA change to CC:DA for consideration
- Reporting on PCC activities at CC:DA meetings
- Summarizing CC:DA meetings for PCC (forthcoming from
ALA Annual in Anaheim)
For those of you who wish to follow RDA activity more closely, I recommend:
·Subscribing to the [rules] list: See
http://lists.ala.org/wws/info/rules for details.
·Checking the CC:DA website for documents under discussion:
http://www.libraries.psu.edu/tas/jca/ccda/
·Following updates to the JSC working documents website:
http://www.rda-jsc.org/workingnew.html
In addition, a list of potential proposals for JSC consideration in
November is available at: http://www.rda-jsc.org/2012possibleproposals.html.
CC:DA has established an internal deadline of July 25 for its RDA change
proposals to be considered at the November 2012 JSC meeting. Many of
these proposals are already in draft form and were discussed at CC:DA
during its meetings in Anaheim; however, most of them have not yet been
finalized. The current proposals are linked from the CC:DA agenda for
that meeting: http://www.libraries.psu.edu/tas/jca/ccda/agen1206.html.
If you have comments on any of these for CC:DA to consider, please drop
me a note.
CC:DA will also need to respond to proposals from other constituencies
in advance of the JSC meeting. While no specific deadlines have yet been
established for CC:DA feedback, I would be happy to forward any comments
from PCC members for their consideration. Some proposals that are
already available are:

Please send your comments directly to me and not to the PCC list; I will
contribute them to the CC:DA wiki. If you have an opportunity to comment
on these papers through multiple CC:DA liaisons or voting members,
please select just one of us to contribute on your behalf.
Additional papers will likely be made available for comment before the
JSC meeting. As they are published, I will make an announcement asking
for feedback on this list.
Please contact me if you have any questions about the above. I look
forward to hearing your thoughts!
