ALCTS webinar: Aiming for a Robust Metadata Infrastructure for the Future
Date: Monday, August 1, 2011
This session is intended to last 90 minutes starting at: 11:30am
Pacific, 12:30pm Mountain, 1:30pm Central, 2:30pm Eastern
Description: The Library of Congress, the National Agricultural Library,
and the National Library of Medicine have jointly determined that to
achieve a viable and robust metadata infrastructure for the future,
RDA--Resource Description & Access should be in that future. This
decision was not made lightly, but based on a substantive test using RDA
in which 23 libraries and the three U.S. national libraries
participated. This webinar will share the thoughts of LC's Associate
Librarian for Library Services, Deanna Marcum, and its Director for
Acquisitions & Bibliographic Access, Beacher Wiggins. Dr. Marcum will
give her reactions to reviewing and accepting the recommendations of the
U.S. RDA Test Coordinating Committee. Mr. Wiggins, a Coordinating
Committee co-chair, will describe the test, findings, and analyses that
led to the recommendation to implement RDA not sooner than January 2013.
Presenters: Deanna Marcum, Associate Librarian for Library Services,
Library of Congress and Beacher Wiggins, Director for Acquisitions &
Bibliographic Access, Library of Congress
