This is an interesting question.  Though we have 4 people who do regular cataloguing (as opposed to serials and special collections librarians), we only have just over 1 FTE of cataloguing time.  I was responsible for the set-up, training, liaising with systems people etc.  This did take a substantial amount of time, especially over the three months just before "implementation".  However, we found the time by cutting out other projects and making changes elsewhere.  Once the core cataloguers were trained, and the review period was over, then the amount of time I devoted to RDA was substantially reduced.  Apologies for not having any exact figures!

We have one full time equivalent cataloguing here at Aber – two of us .5 each – we’ve both been on some training days. We did a trial of the toolkit for one of the courses and have a few of the workflows available from there but figure we will subscribe when we know more about our LMS plans.

 

We have given some training out for acquisitions staff and others who use and upgrade records so they know what we’re talking about and can chose RDA over AACR2 where possible.

Could I ask the possibly sensitive question as to how many staff/much staff time people are devoting to RDA?  We're finding it difficult to do alongside out day jobs as it were, and there are just two of us tackling it at the moment. I'd be interested to hear what's happening elsewhere. 

 

Thanks,
