An IFLA satellite meeting on RDA is happening on Friday 8 August 2008, in the Château Laurier in Quebec City, one of Canada’s finest hotels. If you’re in town early for the 2008 conference of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions and you want to learn more about where RDA is at, check it out. FRBR will be discussed!
I won’t be there, but I’ll be at the conference proper.
