Please forgive cross-posting; I'm sure many of you have already received this announcement through some list or other. The Library of Congress has announced that their "RDA Implementation Day One" target date is March 31, 2013 and have issued an RDA training plan outline for LC staff. The RDA implementation date is defined as “the date when all catalog records newly created at LC will be produced according to RDA instructions.” As you can read from the message below, PCC has also targeted this date as Day One for RDA Authority Records. All of LC's partner national libraries will target the first quarter of 2013 for RDA implementation (with the exception of the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek, who will likely implement RDA in mid-2013).

Watson Library The Metropolitan Museum of Art 1000 Fifth Avenue New York, NY 10028 212.650.2982 [log in to unmask] From:Program for Cooperative Cataloging [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Frank, Paul Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2012 3:51 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [PCCLIST] PCC RDA Update, March 2012 PCC list readers, Please forward this message as appropriate. I am sending it to these lists today: PCC list, CONSER list, BIBCO list, SACO list. ***** With this message, the PCC Secretariat begins its monthly PCC RDA Update messages to the PCC lists. Rationale: PCC RDA transition activities are taking place at a fast pace, and at many different levels of the PCC structure, from local institutional activities, all the way up to the highest-level PCC RDA task groups operating under the PCC Policy Committee umbrella. It is hard for anyone to keep track of all of these activities. The PCC web site is still the authoritative source for information on PCC RDA activities, but it cannot keep you updated on what is happening in the PCC RDA transition unless you check it regularly. So the PCC Secretariat will be sending out monthly messages, informal in nature, that will update you on what is happening in the PCC RDA transition. We will send these monthly messages at least through March 31, 2013, the Library of Congress’ RDA Implementation Day One (http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/news_rda_implementation_date_120227.html). Why March 31, 2013? Because PCC Day One for RDA Authority Records will be harmonized with the Library of Congress’ RDA Implementation Day One as much as possible (http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/PCC%20Day%20One%20for%20RDA%20Authority%20Records.docx). If you know of a PCC RDA transition activity that could be mentioned in one of these monthly PCC RDA Updates, please contact me ([log in to unmask]) or the PCC Secretariat ([log in to unmask]). We will make every attempt to include the activities you describe in a future RDA PCC Update, space permitting. Best regards, Paul Frank On behalf of the PCC Secretariat ***** PCC RDA Update, March 1, 2012 1.

In order toset the training plan in motion, LC needed to determine a target RDA Implementation Day One. As will be seen in the plan, LC determined that date to be March 31, 2013. 3. PCC RDA Training The PCC Secretariat is creating RDA NACO authority training modules intended for use by independent NACO AACR2 catalogers as they transition to RDA authority record contribution via the NACO Program. The training modules will be available online via the Cataloger’s Learning Workshop web site in early April 2012, and will be in online format: discussion videos, demonstration videos, online exercises, and live follow-up Q&A sessions. Participants who have completed the online modules will undergo a review period for RDA NARs. When the training modules are ready for posting and delivery, PCC members will be notified via the PCC lists. 4. PCC RDA Timeline The PCC Steering Committee and the PCC Secretariat have developed a PCC RDA Timeline. This timeline features PCC RDA transition activities and deadlines, and includes dependencies where appropriate. The timeline is intended as only a general overview of the PCC’s RDA transition activities. It is not an exhaustive representation of all PCC RDA activities and dependencies. The timeline will be updated regularly, with the date of the latest version recorded in the footer. The current timeline covers the period January 2012-March 2013. Activities are categorized by topic or by responsible PCC unit. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/join.html Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
