Well, when they said RDA would be available "in June," I guess people here decided that if that meant June 1, they would be ready!! Of course, it clearly doesn't mean June 1 as we seem to know now (I suppose they COULD spring it on us next Tuesday), but we're starting the training anyway.
I wonder if it will be in June at all??

Of course I'll report anything that seems useful and/or pertinent to us to the group, but truly useful things may not come up till after the three months of "training" which precede the three months of actual "testing," which are to begin in October. (And don't forget that the official position is that LC may not adopt RDA in the end ... the future is shrouded in mystery, as always.)

Are any of you going to be personally involved? It will be interesting to hear how it works with Hebrew script. I’m sure that those of us who are not testing would love to hear reports (very unofficial, of course!). Caroline Caroline R.
