Apologies for cross posting.
I hope you plan to attend. The Cataloging and Metadata Management Section (CaMMS) and the RDA Conference Forums and Programs Task Force (TF) are co-sponsoring the ALA Midwinter RDA Update Forum, Sunday, January 22, 2011 1:30-3:30pm at the Dallas Convention Center, Room C146. Panelists will outline key cataloging changes related to RDA and steps being taken in preparation for implementation sometime after January 2013. Although there is at least a year before wide scale implementation of RDA, changes are already impacting workflow and data exchange. In an effort to economize on speakers and room space and to add emphasis to this topic CaMMS is foregoing its Friday Forum to join with the TF in presenting this RDA Forum. Scheduled presenters include: Beacher Wiggins (Library of Congress), Linda Barnhart (Chair PCC), Glenn Patton (OCLC), John Attig (JSC update), Sally McCallum (MARBI) and Troy Linker (ALA Publishing). Please also join us for the RDA Conference Forums and Programs Taskforce planning meeting directly following the RDA Update Forum. The Taskforce will meet in Dallas Convention Center, Room D160 from 4:00 - 5:30 to discuss sessions we are planning at ALA Annual. All are welcome and we appreciate your feedback and ideas.
