Is RDA on your RaDAr?
An Amigos Online Conference
Call for Presentation Proposals
RDA: Is it still new? What have we learned? Where are we moving to? Is RDA on your radar?
RDA has been or is being implemented by libraries in the United States, Europe and the Pacific. Others are still taking a wait-and-see approach. Interest in the new content standard is high. The goal of this conference is to take a pulse of the library community and see how RDA is working out for us.
Date of conference: February 20, 2014
Time: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM Central Standard Time
Amigos Library Services is accepting proposals for presentations on the following topics:
Libraries that have started using RDA
Describe your process of implementation
What benefits has implementation brought?
What are the downsides to using RDA?
What challenges do you face in applying the instructions to everyday cataloging tasks?
User reactions to RDA records
Libraries that have yet to start using RDA
What issues prevent you from using RDA?
Difficulties in applying instructions?
Deprecated AACR2 elements (such as GMD)?
Costs of subscriptions?
ILS Vendors
What innovations to your system have been driven by RDA?
Challenges in updating systems to RDA
What does the future hold?
Semantic web
BibFrame developments, RDF
Other metadata developments related to or driven by RDA
Online events eliminate travel time by allowing you to present from the comfort of your office. Also, don't worry if you've never presented online; it's easy and we can train you.
If you can speak on one of the topics above or have another idea in mind, submit your proposal at http://www.amigos.org/node/2220 . Deadline for proposals is November 18.
Best wishes,
