UPDATE: The following message was posted to the RDA-L list on August 14, 2019.
Hello all,
Join us on Monday, August 19th for a 90 minute workshop on Teaching RDA After 3R with Brian Dobreski. Geared toward LIS instructors responsible for teaching RDA as well as practitioners who perform staff training, this webinar covers strategies for introducing students to the new RDA Toolkit.
Starting later this month, we will present bi-monthly demos of the beta site. The demos will walk users through the new beta site. The demos will be hosted on the GoTo Meeting platform which will only allow 100 attendees to login at the time of the demo. We will not take registrations for the demos.
The English language version of RDA stabilized in April 2019. In July, the RDA Online Orientations, a program of educational events, will roll out.
Citation numbering has been added to the beta site in response to a user need to reference RDA passages in print materials and other non-digital communications.
The format for these numbers is XX.XX.XX.XX. The numbers are random, permanent, and searchable.
On April 30th release to the RDA Toolkit beta site included some significant changes to the RDA standard and improvements to site features and functions. A few of the planned improvements to the site were not ready for the release, but will be added this evening.
Friday, June 21st - 8:30 am-4:00 pm
Location: WCC - Rm 144B-C
The 90-minute webinar that aired on May 10th is now available. The webinar reviewed the impact of the April 30th update to the beta site. Presenters included:
Kathy Glennan, Chair of RDA Steering Committee
James Hennelly, Director of RDA Toolkit
Today there will be a new release to the RDA Toolkit beta site. The release will go live in the evening in North America. Part of the release is still in a testing phase and will follow in a week or two.
On April 30, there will be a major update to the RDA Toolkit BETA site that will include a stabilized version of the English test as well as added and improved functionality to the BETA site. A detailed announcement about this release is coming. However, join us on May 10 for a free 90-minute webinar that will review the impact of the April 30 update.
