This event is organized by the RDA Board. It will be held at
the National Library of Malaysia, 232 Jalan Tun Razak, Kuala Lumpur.
Join us for a full-day event focused on RDA, and looking
particularly at the ways in which RDA is evolving to accommodate the needs of
cataloguing communities around the world.
There will be RDA experts presenting on topics such as the
restructure and redesign of the RDA Toolkit, how RDA governance has changed to
ensure dialogue with all regions and language communities of the globe, case
studies of RDA implementation in different geographical regions, optimizing
cataloguing data for the linked data environment.
There will be formal presentations and opportunities to talk
with those who have already implemented RDA. It is a good opportunity to hear
about the latest developments as well as consult with colleagues about RDA
implementation.
Who should attend?
Anyone from libraries that have not yet adopted RDA as their
cataloguing standard -- you will hear case studies from those who have - what
worked and what didn't?
Existing, new and prospective users of the RDA Toolkit will
receive a live demonstration of the new Toolkit after the 3R Project
Library decision-makers who want to know how RDA is evolving
to accommodate international users, from practical issues of facilitating
translation to complex issues of different descriptive practices
National libraries who want to be involved at the national,
regional and international level in the governance of RDA
Library professionals interested in innovative ways of
reusing cataloguing data in a linked data environment
Library skills trainers interested in delivering RDA
