RDA/MARC Working Group Update

Under the auspices of the British Library, the Library and Archives Canada, and the Library of Congress, an RDA/MARC Working Group has been established to collaborate on the development of proposals for changes to the MARC 21 formats to accommodate the encoding of RDA data.

Although the MARC 21 formats support the encoding of descriptions created according to a wide range of content standards, the close relationship between AACR and MARC 21 has contributed to the efficient exchange of information among libraries for decades. The RDA/MARC Working Group will identify what changes are required to MARC 21 to support compatibility with RDA and ensure effective data exchange into the future.

Members of the RDA/MARC Working Group are:

Everett Allgood (New York University and CC:DA Liaison to MARBI)
Corine Deliot (British Library)
John Espley (VTLS and AVIAC representative to MARBI)
Kathy Glennan (University of Maryland)
Rich Greene (OCLC)
Rebecca Guenther (Library of Congress)
Reinhold Heuvelmann (Deutsche Nationalbibliothek)
Rhonda Lawrence (University of California, Los Angeles)
Bill Leonard (Library and Archives Canada)
Sally McCallum (Library of Congress)
Bill Moen (University of North Texas, School of Library and Information Sciences)
Marg Stewart (JSC Liaison to the RDA/MARC Working Group)
Martha Yee (UCLA Film and Television Archive)

For a listing of agreed changes to the MARC 21 formats to support encoding of RDA data see: http://www.loc.gov/marc/formatchanges-RDA.html
