Hello,
We still have some spaces available for this workshop on RDA - registration closes on the 17th November, so please don't forget to register!
The Cataloguing & Indexing Group in Scotland, in conjunction with the UK Committee on RDA (UKCoR) is delighted to present an RDA Orientation Workshop in Edinburgh.
This all day event will follow a part seminar, part practical workshop format. Presentations from Alan Danskin from the British Library and Gordon Dunsire from the RDA Steering Committee, will prepare delegates for the practical hands-on sessions.
The practical element will involve delegates using RIMMF (RDA in Many Metadata Formats) to explore different scenarios using elements and concepts from the RDA beta Toolkit. The aim of the day is to put the RDA theory into practice in a non-MARC environment, and to introduce delegates to the implications of Toolkit restructure and redesign (3R) and LRM.
Due to the practical nature of this workshop, delegates are asked to bring their own laptops with RIMMF version 4 installed. Further information for delegates will be provided following registration, and RDA experts will be available to support delegates in the practical sessions.
Places for delegates are limited to 40, so early booking is recommended.
The event is to be held in the Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Innovation, which is easily accessible from Waverley Station. Directions can be found here:
A buffet lunch and refreshments will be provided.
We look forward to seeing you in Edinburgh in November!
Best wishes,
Natasha.
