The publishers of Resource Description and Access (RDA) recently announced a 2 month delay releasing the final draft of RDA in its web prototype, RDA Online.
The Co-Publishers of RDA Online (the American Library Association, the Canadian Library Association, and the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals) have reached the conclusion that further time is required to complete the development of the new software that will be used for distributing the full draft of RDA for constituency review.
The full draft was originally scheduled for release on August 4, 2008. Instead, it will now be issued in October 2008. The three month time period allocated for comments on the full draft is unchanged, and in this new schedule will extend from October into January 2009. More specific dates for RDA's final release will be forthcoming shortly.
Note to publishers: This metadata librarian needs a paper version also (I'm sure I'm not alone in this request.).
