RSC

The RDA Steering Committee (RSC) will meet in Chicago on 17-19 May 2023, and would be delighted to welcome observers to its public session on Thursday 18 May.

On 27 February, RSC Past Chair Kathy Glennan gave a webinar on How to Propose a Change to RDA, which highlighted the feedback facility on the RDA Toolkit and the other opportunities open to any RDA user to suggest a change. If you were unable to attend live, you can access now it on the RDA Toolkit YouTube channel.

A new release of RDA Toolkit was ready on March 24, 2023, but due to some technical issues, its posting was delayed until March 27th. The release was a small one compared to past releases. Minor changes to English language RDA were made for the purpose of clarity and consistency.

On 24 February, RSC Education and Orientation Officer Elisa Sze gave a webinar on Teaching RDA in the LIS Classroom, which talked through her recent report and solicited further feedback from those engaged in teaching RDA in Information Studies programs.

RSC/Minutes/362-372: Minutes of January 2023 Meeting are now publicly available.

Of particular note, the RSC has agreed its meeting dates for 2023 as follows:

16-17 May 2023 - Joint meeting with the RDA Board, ALA Headquarters, Chicago
17-19 May 2023 - ALA Headquarters, Chicago

The RSC updates its Action Plan annually, providing an overview for the next three years, with the immediate year's plan being more detailed than the later two years as specific tasks are planned and set in motion.
