The RDA Steering Committee is very pleased to announce that Renate Behrens is the new Chair-Elect.
The RDA Board, which unanimously ratified the recommendation of the search committee, and the RSC are especially pleased to welcome the first non Anglo-American to RSC leadership.
Four documents, some quite substantive, have been posted recently on the RSC website:
The RSC has opened the application process for the next chair of the RDA Steering Committee; applicants must either be current members of the RSC or one of its working groups. The application deadline is 29 October 2021. The goal is to both identify the Chair-Elect and obtain the RDA Board's ratification by early December.
The RDA Steering Committee (RSC) is in the process of creating four new Working Groups to support the improvement of the RDA standard and invites expressions of interest to join these groups from those who have expertise.
Each Working Group will be active in 2022 and 2023 as a two-year, task-and-finish assignment. Each Working Group is intended to have international membership.
This website--rda-rsc.org, the web presence of the RDA Steering Committee and RDA Board--and rdatoolkit.org, home to RDA news and information on subscribing to and translating RDA Toolkit as well as the free trial sign up form, will migrate to a new server on October 1, 2021.
13 October 2021: The final agenda is now available. There were no substantive changes from the draft agenda.
