ALCTS webinar: Update on the RDA 3R Project

Date: Wednesday, November 29, 2017

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.



Description: The RDA Toolkit Restructure and Redesign (3R) Project is a
year-long effort to improve the RDA Toolkit in several different ways.
Restructuring includes generalizing existing instructions where possible,
implementing the four-fold path (unstructured description, structured
description, identifiers, and actionable links) wherever applicable, and
incorporating new elements from the IFLA Library Reference Model. Redesign
includes greater flexibility in the display of instructions, improved user
interaction with the Toolkit, and better tracking of revision history.
Kathy Glennan, ALA Representative to the RDA Steering Committee, will bring
attendees up-to-date about the planned changes to the Toolkit, which will
be rolled out in April 2018.

Learning outcomes:

Participants will understand the scope and goals of the 3R Project,
including:

•    RDA Toolkit redesign

•    incorporation of the IFLA Library Reference Model entities

•    the proposed reorganization of the Toolkit instructions.
