<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve had a chance to look at some RDA records in Evergreen and I’ve attached some documentation (Microsoft Word) that goes through how I’ve found RDA records and tested them in Evergreen. I thought this might be useful for the community.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m also wondering if we need some more organization in terms of looking at RDA and Evergreen, from a cataloging perspective, so we all aren’t wondering about how RDA will impact cataloging in Evergreen. Any thoughts? Perhaps a task
force of some sort, that looks at the issues as they come up and produces any bugs and reports them to the community?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So far Evergreen seems to handle RDA fairly well, but there are known bugs. For those who aren’t aware here they are:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">How would the Evergreen developers like RDA bugs to be reported to the community? I’m sure there will be more upcoming as we get a chance to see more RDA records.<o:p></o:p></p>
