CILIP's RDA: Resource Description and Access Executive Briefing 2012
Implementing RDA in the UK: strategies and lessons learned

Thursday 28 June 2012, London

*Early bird registration ends Friday 4 May 2012*

Since the launch of RDA in June 2010, library managers and cataloguing team leaders have been watching the news for information on implementation of the new standard. In June 2011, the US National Test Committee reported on its trials across major American libraries, and, increasingly, members of cataloguing consortia are finding RDA records in their downloads.

Each year, the RDA Executive Briefing has been able to offer more concrete advice to attendees, as the standard itself has progressed from draft, to test data, to the cataloguing code implemented by major libraries in the USA. This year's programme builds on the British Library's announcement that they will be releasing RDA records from 1 June 2012, with detailed presentations from the professionals who are leading the training and implementation of the new standard within our national library.

The day provides unique and exciting opportunities, including:

*         A response to the US RDA test recommendations

*         An overview of the potential impacts on Copac

*         The British Library's preparations for RDA

*         How the University of Oxford are planning to introduce RDA

*         The implications of the of the US steps and the next steps
