- Outcomes of the Meeting of the Joint Steering Committee for the Development of RDA, 13-22 April 2008. And I thought my meeting Tuesday afternoon was long! Among other things: “The ALA response to the December 2007 draft suggested refinements to the existing organization of RDA. One proposal was that there be a chapter on each of the FRBR Group 1 entities in this order: work, expression, manifestation, and item. The JSC decided to retain the existing organization based on FRBR user tasks.” And: “The JSC will meet from November 9-18 in Ottawa, Canada. At this meeting, the JSC will finalize the text for the first release of RDA.” I haven’t been keeping up with the draft; I’ll wait until November. Those JSC people must be damned busy. I bet they dream about RDA.

As they said on The Dead Dog Café Comedy Hour, “Stay calm. Be brave. Wait for the signs.”
- Jenn Riley’s LC Statement on RDA from last week is one of numerous comments on it on blogs.
