Rick Block, The Battle of RDA: Victors or Victims

Posted by: William Denton, 11 November 2009 7:06 am

Rick Block of Columbia University gave a talk on 4 November: The Battle of RDA: Victors or Victims. (It’s quite similar to an April talk I linked to: RDA: Boondoggle or Boon? And What About MARC?)

Even with just the slides I think it’ll give you a good idea of what’s going on with Resource Description and Access and the debate over it, which I must admit I haven’t been following much.

(Question: Why is there a link to upgrademaster.com at the bottom of the RDA home page? Did they get hacked? Strange.)
