RDA Authorities March 31, 2013 and Beyond

What PCC will do? What LC will do?

All newly-created authority records will be coded RDA

Access points in newly-created RDA bibliographic records or pre-RDA records that are recoded as RDA must be supported by RDA acceptable authority records

PCC catalogers are strongly encouraged to evaluate and recode the RDA acceptable headings to RDA. If an RDA acceptable authority record is being updated for another reason, the record must be evaluated and recoded to RDA

LC is considering recoding all AACR2 records to RDA when used in bibliographic records

RDA Bibliographic Records after March 31, 2013 ?

No RDA implementation deadline set yet for PCC members contributing BIBCO and CONSER records

LC will implement RDA on both bibliographic and authority records after March 31, 2013 for the units at LC that will apply RDA
