-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: RDA and cartographic materials, follow-up Date: Wed, 25 Sep 2013 20:50:40 -0400 (EDT) From: Paige G. Andrew <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> CC: [log in to unmask] Thanks Ken for sharing information about RDA sample records (I could post links to a couple of resources but need to make the time to, and allow me to also interject that if the LC records you refer to are the ones I am thinking of they were created during the RDA testing phase and many are quite out of date in some ways, thus not overly helpful -- but I could be wrong!) and info about Mary's, Susan Moore's (Susan recently was invited by Mary and I to join the team) and my forthcoming book on cataloging cartographic resources using RDA. Allow me to update/correct the information you gathered about the book. The "release date" simply isn't true. As things stand right now the book will possibly be available by ALA Annual Conference time next year (June 2014). People's schedules get in the way, we had a change of book editors within ALA Editions earlier this year (though that is/was I'm sure a very, very minor roadblock), some other unexpected twists and turns and roadblocks, etc., and so things have not progressed as quickly as originally hoped. Suffice it to say we have a firm deadline for submission of a final manuscript to ALA Editions, and then there will be several weeks of the final production process -- if you've ever been involved with writing a book or editing a journal then those of you who have know that even after a manuscript is complete it is far from being "done". Anyway, I don't want anyone to get hopes up that they'll see a final product as soon as February 2014. And ask for renewed patience as we focus pretty much the next 3-4 months on getting through the rest of this project. Thanks, Paige (and on behalf of Mary and Susan) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Angie Cope" <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2013 6:10:10 PM Subject: RDA and cartographic materials, follow-up ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: "Kenneth Grabach" <[log in to unmask]> To: "Air Photo Maps & Geospatial Systems Forum [[log in to unmask]]" <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2013 3:47:31 PM Subject: RDA and cartographic materials, follow-up I have found two items that I think will interest the cartographic cataloging community. First is a set of files prepared by the Library of Congress giving record examples of various formats, RDA Record Examples . These are Word files of modest size, the second one of the list being Records for Cartographic Resources. I will be referring to this, looking at the examples with great interest. The second is an item that will be of interest to many when it comes out early next year. I will plug it so that Paige and Mary do not need to. American Library Association plans to publish RDA and Cartographic Resources , by Paige Andrew and Mary Larsgaard, with a release date of February 3, 2014. I found this by googling RDA cartographic materials. This was listed by Amazon, without a price, yet. -- Ken Grabach Maps Librarian BEST Library, 219D Miami University Libraries Oxford, OH 45056 USA 513-529-1726
