Working Meeting on IFLA Library Reference Model following IFLA WLIC

"Impact of the IFLA Library Reference Model on ISBD, RDA and other bibliographic standards" will be held on Friday 25 August 2017 following the IFLA World Library and Information Congress. This working meeting is co-hosted by the RSC, NUKAT (the union catalogue of Polish academic and research libraries), the ISBD Review Group, and EURIG/RDA Europe region and is sponsored by Ex Libris, a ProQuest company.

Following introductory presentations by the standards organisations, topics proposed for discussion include transcription and manifestation statements; the harmonization of serials and issues with serial aggregates; access points; and rare materials.

The meeting will take place from 9:00 to 16:00 in the new building of Wroclaw University Library (Fryderyka Joliot-Curie 12) and is open to observers. There are very few remaining places available; contact Linda Barnhart, RSC Secretary at rscsecretary@rdatoolkit.org quickly to reserve a place. First come, first served. Registration for IFLA WLIC is not required and there is no charge to attend.
