To RDA, or not to RDA (yet)?
Do we have to start using RDA?Short answer: Not just yet, but soon OCLC isn’t requiring that new records use RDA
However, existing records can be changed from AACR2 to RDA (but not the other way around)
Final date for BIBCO* and CONSER** AACR2 records: December 31, 2014
*Monographic Bibliographic Record Cooperative Program**Cooperative Online Serials Program
Should we start using RDA?New records from LC and PCC* libraries now
