Thank you for the clarification, Ana. I've added the information you shared
to my notes.
I'm guessing Beacher was referring to the monograph and serials cataloging
within the PSD in his remarks, and I missed that detail.
Thanks,
-Shana

All LC *authorities* will be created using RDA beginning on March 31, but
units like NUCMC and Motion Picture, Broadcasting, and Recorded Sound
Division, etc. will continue to create bibliographic records using their
current non-AACR2 standards.

It should also be clarified that NAL is implementing RDA for Authorities
on March 31, but as of last Friday (25 Jan. 2013) had not announced an
implementation date for bibliographic records.

Sincere apologies for any confusion caused by these remarks made at ALA.

While this is correct, it is notable that the Library of Congress is
switching all bibliographic work over to RDA on the same date.
** **
Per Beacher Wiggins at the RDA Update Forum at ALA Midwinter this past
weekend: everything coming out of LoC will follow RDA (they will ensure
access points in copy are RDA, but they are not recataloging/recoding
existing bib records). The other national libraries (Agriculture, Medicine)
are targeting the same time frame for bibliographic implementation.

Julie,
The RDA cutover date applies only to authority records. PCC libraries
may continue to describe resources after March 31 using AACR2, but any new
name authorities created for the LC/NACO Authority File must be formulated
according to RDA instructions.

Please excuse the cross-posting ...
Dear All,
It is safe to say that many catalogers are disastisfied with the 336-338 as
a replacement for the GMD.
I know that many people are opting to do some sort of awkward work-around
to insert a GMD into RDA records that come into their systems. (I really do
not want to do that.)
I know that some people are continuing to catalog using AACR2 and adding in
the RDA fields, creating a hybrid record ... mainly so that they can keep
the GMD ... until some more satisfactory solution comes about. (I'd rather
not do that, either.)
Has anyone come up with any other options or solutions as the RDA cutover
date for the national and PCC libraries nears? (2 months to go!)
Cheers,
Julie Moore
