RDA Ask-The-Experts Webinar

Thursday, February 17, 2:00 pm EST.

You may have attended RDA webinars and programs, or followed discussions about RDA on lists and blogs, but you still have questions. ALCTS is holding a free webinar with RDA testers and experts to provide some answers.

The survey to collect questions was closed on January 25, 2011. The questions have been collated and submitted to our experts, who will try to answer as many of them as they can in the available time.

Who are the Experts?

• Linda Gabel, OCLC
• Erin Stalberg, North Carolina State University
• Trina Grover, Ryerson University, Toronto
• Kathryn La Barre, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, GSLIS

How do you attend? Sign up here. The webinar is free.

RDA and OCLC

RDA, Resource Description and Access, is the new cataloging standard that will replace AACR2. RDA offers libraries the potential to change significantly how bibliographic data is created and used. The RDA publication is scheduled for formal release later this year. To help you learn more, OCLC is offering a webinar titled, “RDA and OCLC.”

Choose the date and time that’s most convenient for you and register to attend one of the sessions listed below.

During the no-cost, live webinar you’ll learn about:

• Ongoing work at OCLC that relates to RDA concepts, including bibliographic relationships, linked data and mappings to and from other data structures
• OCLC’s involvement in the development and testing of RDA
• Work being done at OCLC to support implementation of RDA
• Other resources that will help you prepare for the implementation of RDA
