At the Executive Session of the RSC November Meeting yesterday, RSC Chair Renate Behrens extended a very warm welcome to Jack Ennis Butler (pictured), who is attending his first meeting this week as RSC Representative for Oceania.
In the Executive Session of the RDA Steering Committee last night, the following dates were agreed for our meetings in 2026:
Monday 19 - Thursday 22 January
RDA Examples Editor Jessica Grzegorski (pictured) and her colleagues in the RBMS RDA Editorial Group have announced the publication of the RBMS Policy Statements (RBMS PS) in the RDA Toolkit.
RSC Education and Training Officer Elisa Sze (pictured) maintains a curated list of materials on our Learning Resources page, which many members of the RDA cataloguing community have told us they find useful.
The RSC Chair and Secretary were very sad to hear from ORDAC Chair Michela Goodwin that Charlotte Christensen is having to step down from the RSC to focus on her health.
Jack Ennis Butler is currently Metadata and Discovery Librarian at CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) in Australia. He has worked in special and research libraries and at the National Library of Australia in a variety of roles including cataloguing and reference. He has also worked in the university sector supporting the delivery of metadata courses.
The latest release to RDA Toolkit took place on October 9 and includes changes the wording of authorized and preferred access points across all entities. There are corrections and fixes based on feedback submitted to RDA Toolkit and changes to the Guidance chapter on Aggregates.
