Don't forget to attend the RDA Webinar this Thursday, 10-Noon, in the MPL Board Room.
Again, libraries will be moving from AACR2 to RDA some time after the final testing phase which is set to begin October 2010 and end December 2010.
It's true that the change may affect some of you only minimally, but it's important to know what's coming ahead of time so you can see how your job will be affected (even if it's only being able to recognize the new format once it's been launched).
This is big, so let's stay on top of it.

RDA Webinar at MPL
MPL will be hosting the RDA Webinar through OCLC/Minitex that I mentioned last week.
It will be held in our Board Room on July 29th from 10am - Noon.
Please let other interested staff members know about this as well.
If you would like to shoot me an email letting me know how many you think will be attending from your library, that would be helpful.
Description
This information session will introduce participants to Resource Description and Access (RDA), the new manual of cataloging rules designed to succeed AACR2. The instructor will present a thumbnail sketch of RDA's contents, how these guidelines differ from AACR2, and what effects these may have on your library catalog. Information on the RDA Toolkit and the U.S. national libraries' RDA test will also be addressed.
This is the first in a series of training sessions Minitex will offer on RDA and the RDA Toolkit.
Who Should Attend?
Catalogers and other interested library staff.
Prerequisites
Basic cataloging knowledge and a familiarity with AACR2 and the MARC record.

Email Down at MPL
Hi Folks,
I just wanted you to be aware that our email is down in Manitowoc. There was a power outage that affected the City's server yesterday, and things are still not working properly.
