[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Whoops... RDA is a coming!!

[Lisa Hill]

Hi Folks-
RDA- which I am being told does not stand for retirement day approaching  is set for 3/31/2013.

What that means for KCLS(and likely some others on this list) is that we will see an onslaught of records with the publication date recorded in the 264 $c second indicator  1 instead of the 260 subfield c which is where it has been for like a million years.

So what is everyone doing about this? Are you reingesting your records to include the 264 $c is anyone working with ESI to ask them to develop some code so that if there is nothing in the 260 $c the record would display the 264$c_1?

Sorry if this email sounds frantic- I am not a cataloger- I kept hearing that RDA was coming- and I sort of hid my head in the sand.... I guess I will always be a reference librarian at heart.

Thanks for any insight you can give us.
