From Rules to Entities: Cataloguing with RDA

From Rules to Entities: Cataloguing with RDA, a one-day workshop, is happening today in Montreal, Canada. It’s organized by the Technical Services Interest Group of the Canadian Library Association. Among the speakers are Pat Riva, chair of the FRBR Review Group, and Tom Delsey, who played a large role in creating FRBR.

The whole event is being webcast and you can watch it (rather, listen to it — the video isn’t working) today, free and without registration, or later, because it will be archived.
