Full Draft of New Cataloging Code, RDA, Delayed
Marjorie E. Bloss, project manager for RDA (Resource Description and Access), announced on RDA-L that the copublishers of RDA Online (American Library Association, Canadian Library Association and Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals) have determined that further time is required to complete the development of the new software that will be used for distributing the full draft of RDA for constituency review.
The full draft of RDA was originally scheduled for release on August 4, 2008, and is now planned for October 2008. The three-month time period allocated for comments on the full draft is unchanged, and so will extend from October into January 2009. More specific dates for RDA's final release will be forthcoming.
