LC isn&#8217;t going to implement this right now and will still be linking with the actual authority record, but it is something they are planning.<\/li>\n<li>Lots of rules are going away and becoming more intuitive.<\/li>\n<li>Old Latin abbreviations are being discarded.<\/li>\n<li>The rule of thumb is: Key it like you see it.<\/li>\n<li>The focus isn\u2019t so much on editing and conforming things to a set of rules, more like representing the material as you find it. The idea is that if you download content from a publisher and the book title has an abbrevaition, you leave it the way it is.<\/li>\n<li>Trust the item in hand rather than applying a set of rules to it.<\/li>\n<li>LC will publish RDA by June ALA. Then we have 3 months to train and practice. Then another 3 months to test specific scenarios and report back to LC. Then LC will take 3 months to write up the results (Q1 2011).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The RDA Toolkit price has been set at: $325 for the first user, $55 for each additional user.
