Dear colleagues,
As you may know, a draft of Part I of RDA: Resource Description and Access became available for comments recently. JSC has organized a focus group during the ALA-Midwinter meeting for LIS educators to respond to RDA. Since not all LIS educators will be able to attend that event, Gertrude and I would like to invite LIS educators to meet at ALISE to discuss RDA. If you can, please join us for a discussion from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 17. We will meet at 5:30 p.m. by the ALISE registration desk first. We will record the group's comments and suggestions and send Marjorie Bloss, the manager of the RDA project, our notes.
On the same day, the SIG Technical Services will have a program on the development of MERIC (Metadata Education and Research Information Center) from 3:45 to 5:15 p.m. The program includes brief presentations and breakout discussions. Anita Coleman, the chair of SIG TS, will send out an invitation very soon. We hope to see you there.
Best regards,
Ingrid & Gertrude
