Thanks Nicky
In terms of information shared with non-cataloguing staff (which for us is those outside of the Collections Services Group) I've just shared display differences on the catalogue which they might notice when they're trying to find things themselves/helping users.
A display change we particularly wanted to alert staff to is the way relationship designators display on RDA records. The way Voyager works means our display looks like this:
Author: Tiley, John, author.
OR
Author: Peake, Nigel, artist.
The repeat of 'author' looked very strange to us initially, so I spoke to a few other institutions to see what they were doing, but happy that they were using a similar display, we stuck with this, and I let other staff know about it. I also explained the longer term benefit of this in terms of linking resources.

I'm interested in the point that Katrina mentioned - how much to keep other non-cataloguing staff up to date with RDA. I've mentioned it briefly at department meetings, but I am not sure exactly what other information they might *need* to know (as against a general awareness). I'd be interested to hear what others have shared with non-cataloguing staff.

Myself and my boss raised RDA at a departmental meeting fairly early on, before we even had a date to move. It was all built into our strategic planning for the team and the wider department, with the need for time and money for training accepted as necessary.
In terms of planning I'd say myself and the head of Collections worked closely on it, involving the systems staff where needed. We kept RDA as a running item on our team planning meetings to keep the rest of the team up to date.

Sorry, I'm re-sending this with the question in the subject field so that it's easier to follow.

Thanks June
You mentioning needing the approval of Senior Management leads nicely into another question for our session this morning, which is Who was involved in the decision/preparation for implementing RDA?
Did you have to 'justify' it to senior managers?
A few people have already mentioned that the cost of the toolkit has been a prohibitive factor, and this follows on from that a bit as well.

Subject: [CIG-E-FORUM] RDA at Wellcome
Good morning everyone.
At Wellcome we have been downloading RDA records for a while but haven't yet done any original cataloguing in RDA. Where records are available as either AACR2 or RDA we would take the RDA record but if the AACR2 one looks better we would take that instead. We don't convert AACR2 records to RDA.
I had planned to implement RDA fully this Spring but the preparation is proving to be quite overwhelming as we have so many other projects going on. I also have to get the approval of our Senior Management Team before anything can, officially, happen.
