I also happened to notice that yesterday Kevin, and I'm glad you bring it up. The latest update was to be May 14th, and I even received an e-mail from the Toolkit on May 13th announcing the May 14th update, but my Toolkit also shows the latest update as April 2012. However I do notice that when you're in RDA itself, if you scroll all the way down to the bottom of a page it says: Document Date: 5/14/2013, so it would appear as if the text of RDA has been updated, I'm not sure why the Toolkit hasn't updated the Update History. But then again the Toolkit does a lot of things I don't understand, like not providing the Index to AACR2, and not having the LC-PCC PS icon print out if you print out an RDA rule.

Haven't there been several updates to the content since it was published in June 2010? There is only one update in the Update History, and that is dated April 2012. It is *very* helpful to have a complete history of the updates, to help catalogers determine if there was an actual change in a particular instruction, or when instruction numbers have changed, etc. Will this section of the RDA Toolkit be augmented with all of the histories for updates that have occurred to date?
