What are LACs implementation plans for RDA?
Library and Archives Canada will implement RDA in coordination with the other anglo-american national libraries, once the RDA Online product is available. Decisions on which RDA options and alternatives LAC will follow will be made in conjunction with these libraries, to minimize differences in practice. Similarly, LAC will work with the national libraries on decisions regarding retrospective changes in legacy headings, with the aim of keeping these to a minimum. LAC is in the process of seeking a new Integrated Library System, currently expected to be purchased and implemented in the second half of 2010. The new ILS would accommodate the MARC updates and other requirements for RDA. LAC’s implementation of RDA would be coordinated with the new ILS. More information on LAC implementation plans will be posted as it becomes available.
