MARS Authority Control Updates
Thursday, March 31st, 2011This quarter has been a busy one for us at Backstage in the Authority Control / Automation service dept. We always get together and discuss upcoming goals and apply priorities to those goals throughout the year, just as everyone on this list participates in their own goals-oriented meetings.

Updated RDA Links
Monday, March 7th, 2011Our RDA specialist, Karen, has updated the best list of links and information on RDA on the net and provided that for us here.
To implement or not to implement, that is the question! The National RDA Test has been completed and the evaluation period is underway. Library communities, and others, wait for the decision to be made by the National Libraries. Will the decision be ready by this summer’s ALA Annual as hoped, or not?
In the meantime, we offer a new and improved, updated, annotated, RDA links list to provide excellent resources in the quest to understand RDA and the models behind it. This is not an all encompassing list by any means. Please feel free to share other links you know of.
