Apologies for duplication as this goes out (late! apologies for that, too)

to multiple lists.

 

The ALCTS CRS Continuing Resources Cataloging Committee (CRCC)

invites all catalogers & serialists to a

Forum at ALA Annual in Washington, DC on Monday, June 28, in

Washington Convention Center (WCC) Room 145A, from 1:30-3:30pm

 

There will be brief updates from representatives of the ISSN Center,

the Library of Congress and CONSER Program, and CC:DA, 

followed by a special program on the Testing of RDA records for serial resources.,

 

Featured guests will include

Tina Shrader, a representative from the National Agricultural Library

on the Task Group coordinating the official testing;

Renette Davis (University of Chicago), to share thoughts on

preparing staff for testing RDA;

and Robert Bremer of OCLC, to field questions on

the impact of RDA-compliant records on OCLC WorldCat.

 

CRCC Chair-designate (2010/2011) Jennifer Young (Northwestern)

will lead a brainstorming Q & A session on how interested catalogers

and institutions might participate in RDA testing of serial records

and provide feedback to one another and to the official test partners.
