Dear Colleagues:

It is with great pleasure that I pass along this announcement regarding 
the establishment of an RDA/MARC Working Group.

RDA/MARC Working Group Established

Under the auspices of the British Library, the Library and Archives 
Canada, and the Library of Congress, an RDA/MARC Working Group has been 
established to collaborate on the development of proposals for changes 
to the MARC 21 formats to accommodate the encoding of RDA data.  With 
the implementation of RDA anticipated for late 2009, the Working Group 
will be drafting proposals for review and discussion by the MARC 
community in June 2008.

Although the MARC 21 formats support the encoding of descriptions 
created according to a wide range of content standards, the close 
relationship between AACR and MARC 21 has contributed to the efficient 
exchange of information among libraries for decades.  The RDA/MARC 
Working Group will identify what changes are required to MARC 21 to 
support compatibility with RDA and ensure effective data exchange into 
the future.


Members of the RDA/MARC Working Group are:

Everett Allgood (New York University and CC:DA Liaison to MARBI)
Corine Deliot (British Library)
Rebecca Guenther (Library of Congress)
Bill Leonard (Library and Archives Canada)
Sally McCallum (Library of Congress)
Marg Stewart (JSC Liaison to the RDA/MARC Working Group)
Martha Yee (UCLA Film and Television Archive)


Cordially,

Marjorie
