Date: Mon, 9 Aug 2010 21:53:47 -0400 From: PAIGE G ANDREW <[log in to unmask]> To: Angie Cope <[log in to unmask]> References: <[log in to unmask]> Carolyn, Those of us who are members/representatives of the AACCCM (the international committee responsible for the second edition of CM) have not had any conversations as to whether or not CM will next include RDA-based inclusions or -- yikes! -- maybe to go as far as a 3rd edition! You answered one of the reasons why ... heck, we have to let the testers get through their work and then the national libraries have to go through their evaluation phase, and maybe then will be a good time to have a discussion. We'll see. In the meantime, Mary Larsgaard and I are in the process of writing a formal proposal to go to ALA Editions for an upcoming guidebook/manual on RDA and cartographic materials (we have a verbal agreement at this point). Much of what we will be writing is still in a very murky informal stage, but we do intend to create something that will be useful to the front-line cataloger of cartographic materials. Okay....I can hear the next question from here, when? That too is murky, we have our own goals but we also have a kind of "guiding deadline" as well from ALA. Suffice it to say its probably at least a year away, perhaps a bit longer, and do not hold that to me please! (Mary may wring my neck!)

I know that this is a bit premature, since we've just entered the RDA testing phase, but I can't find any confirmation that a manual like CM is in the works for RDA. And since RDA is not being released in hard copy, can we expect the new CM to only be available online? Thanks for your time and help!
