Where Did It Go?
The new beta Toolkit includes some significant differences in how the instructions are organized and arranged. Some may have trouble locating where some instructions have moved to.

We have heard from some users that examples have been few and far between. Because the RDA text is still a work in progress on the beta site, it has been difficult to write examples. When the 3R Project is complete we expect there to be many more examples in the new Toolkit as compared to the original one.
At the ALA Annual Conference in New Orleans in June, the members of the RDA Steering Committee and friends organized a day-long event called "A Practical Introduction to the New RDA Toolkit". If you missed the event, you can still learn a thing or two about the new RDA Toolkit through slides and video from the event, all linked below.
The Copyright Holders of RDA are pleased to confirm that an agreement has been reached with Biblioteca Alexandrina for an Arabic translation of RDA. The translation will appear on RDA Toolkit following the conclusion of the 3R Project.

The beta site marks an important milestone in the progress of the 3R Project, but it does not represent the completion of the 3R Project.

The RDA Toolkit Restructure and Redesign Project, also known as the 3R Project, will accomplish a major milestone on June 13th with the release of a beta version of the redesigned RDA Toolkit.
RDA Toolkit and the RDA Steering Committee will host three events at the ALA Annual Conference in New Orleans. We hope you are able to join us for one or all of these events.
This is the fifth status report for the RDA Toolkit Restructure and Redesign Project (3R) project.
