implement RDA in American libraries will be made some time in the spring of 2011. However, it
seems likely that we may have passed the point of no return. Although library communities outside of
the U.S., including Library and Archives Canada, are waiting for the results of these U.S. tests, they
appear to be committed to implementing RDA regardless of the outcome. Work on creating training
materials has begun and a number of workshops focusing on preparing libraries for RDA have been
given and more are planned.
