CILIP CIG e-form RDA: Updates and Developments Join us for our next e-forum, to be held on Tuesday, 12th of May. Hosted by Alan Danskin and Thurstan Young (British Library). Gordon Dunsire, Chair of the Joint Steering Committee for Development of RDA, will also be joining in during the day. This e-forum has been prompted by the release of the April 2015 Update to RDA and the recent consultation on future governance and strategy.
The morning session (10.00-12.30) will focus on updates to RDA. How has the April RDA Update affected you? How did you find out about it? Is there too much change or is change too slow? In the afternoon session (14.00-16.00) we will look ahead to future developments. What do you know about the RDA development process? Have you considered getting involved? Does the generalist focus of RDA meet your needs or do you supplement RDA with other standards for "special" materials? This CIG hosted forum will provide a platform to ask questions, share experiences, and give advice. What is a CIG e-forum? A CIG e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion list. The e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register your email address with the list, and then you will receive messages and communicate with other participants through an email discussion. This e-forum is scheduled for one day. Registration is necessary to participate, but it's free and open to both members and non-members of CIG. Details: The e-forum takes place on Tuesday 12 May, 2015 It will begin at 10.00 and end at 16.00 (UK time). Schedule 10.00-12.30: RDA Update 14.00-16.00: RDA Developments Instructions for registration are available at: http://www.cilip.org.uk/cataloguing-and-indexing-group/e-forums Once you have registered for one e-forum, you do not need to register again, unless you choose to leave the email list. Participation is free and open to anyone.
