We'd been talking internally about getting the 264 to display, since we're
already loading RDA records as we find them on OCLC.

My staff and I will be taking an online RDA cataloging course in December.
We still have to talk about whether we will just take AACR2 records as we
find them or "RDA-ize" them before loading.

Does anyone know if there's a vendor that is ready to take a database and
reformat it to RDA standards? Ideally, we'd reload the cleaned-up records,
and then send files of new bibs every quarter to keep up the standard.

Mary

FWIW - LoC has as document posted for LC catalogers and techs called
"Summary of Steps to Change a Record from AACR2 to RDA" (monographs)

www.loc.gov/aba/rda/source/importing_textual_monographs_for_rda.doc

We probably can expect more of these kinds of documents (and sites, etc.)
from the cataloguing community to be available to help inform ourselves on
what priorities need to be set for EG + RDA.

A few other links, but not too recent, include:
http://eprints.rclis.org/handle/10760/13415#.UIgvjGe_Stk

http://www.nla.gov.au/lis/stndrds/grps/acoc/documents/RDAFAQsaboutsystemchan
ges.pdf

And, "Recommendations to Vendors" (pages 23-24) from RDA testing report:
http://www.loc.gov/bibliographic-future/rda/source/rdatesting-finalreport-20
june2011.pdf

Also, RDA has also been popping up on the catalogers listserv:
evergreen-catalogers at list.evergreen-ils.org so future threads may want to
sprout there.

Dan, I'll open a ticket later this week if we don't see one from Lisa.

Cheers,
George

Rather than jumping directly to development proposals with specific
companies or individuals, I would suggest opening a bug at
http://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen with the details so that all Evergreen
developers can discuss the best way forward for ensuring that we handle this
in the Evergreen 2.4 release. There are a number of potential ways of
handling both the indexing and display side of things.

There are a number of other RDA changes to address as well. Having one or
more bugs with clear directions on what the community wants will help all of
us!
