Funnel work during RDA Test Period (Oct. 1-Dec. 31 2010

2010-08-19 Thread Heidi G Lerner

Dear Hebraica NACO Funnel amd Judaica SACO Funnel members,

We (Joan Biella and Heidi Lerner) are among the group of staff who will 
participate in RDA testing Oct. 1-Dec. 31. Both LC and Stanford are official 
test partners.

Although the details of the testing are still not completely known, we are 
certain that we will be extremely busy during this period creating and 
evaluating RDA records. Even now, we are heavily invested in learning to work 
with the RDA toolkit and and the accompanying LC policy statements.

Without doubt, our time for NACO/SACO revision and consultation will be very 
limited. In the most extreme case we may be forced to announce that we will 
stop reviewing for the remainder of the test period.

We will keep you apprised of any new developments or changes in work-flow.

Thank you, Heidi and Joan
