Mark your calendars, catalogers!

March 30, 2010

The NOTSL/ALAO-TEDSIG spring program, “Getting Ready for RDA:  Making the Transition,” will be held Friday, May 14, 2010 at Shisler Conference Center in Wooster, Ohio.   The challenge of RDA is more than just changing cataloging rules- it’s a new mindset that takes some getting used to, and your library can start today.  Join NOTSL and TEDSIG for a day of learning how to make the move to RDA.

Presenters:
Rick Block, the Head of Special Collections, Metadata, and Cataloging at Columbia University, and Athena Salaba, Assistant Professor of Library and Information Science at Kent State University.

Registration details and program information will be forthcoming.

We hope to see you there!
