We have given our cataloguers an overview in RDA in order to identify these records and they are instructed to convert them to AACR2. It's been interesting to note however the number of error in these records, e.g. records coded as RDA but with abbreviations still being used in physical description, etc.

>> I'm sure there will be more on the specifics of training to deal with this when the forum reaches the "training" thread, but for now I would certainly want to emphasise that there are RDA records "out there" and it's not simply a matter of being able to ignore them. Jennie-Claire mentioned coming across RDA records in OCLC - the same applies to the RLUK Database, to LC's database (which many institutions access via Z39.50), and doubtless other sources too (Talis, for example?). So it's not simply a question of waiting to see what others do, and/or of implementing RDA locally.
