"Best Practices for RDA Authorities"
With the implementation of RDA set for March 2013, institutions and

The RDA Authorities panelists will be speaking about training and best
practices within their organizations and institutions.
Janis Young will give a general update on authorities from the Library
of Congress.
Chamya Kincy (UCLA), Co-Chair, Program for Cooperative Cataloging,

Authorities training efforts within the PCC. She will also discuss
training and review as implemented at UCLA.

CONSER cataloger in addition to training and review at Northwestern.
Mark Scharff (Washington University, St. Louis), NACO Music Project
Funnel Coordinator, will discuss RDA best practices from the standpoint
