Essential RDA is still in early planning stages, so there is not a lot to share at this time. I can, however, say that the current plan calls for both print and electronic versions of Essential RDA. Again this is in the very early stages of development, so plans may change.

I am not familiar with this planned publication. Is this meant to be an electronic or print resource? Any other information about it would be greatly appreciated!
