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 Heidi G.
