Adam Baron (University of California Berkeley)
chair, PCC RDA Implementation Task Group; chair, PCC RDA Communications Committee; and, chair, Standing Committee on Training (SCT) RDA Training Task Group: Monographs
This presentation will provide updates on recently completed and ongoing work as PCC moves towards implementing the official RDA Toolkit, including updates from the Final Report of the PCC Test of the Official RDA Toolkit, PCC Introductory RDA Training, and the PCC RDA Implementation Task Group. Information will also be provided to help institutions think about implementation.
Crystal Yragui (University of Washington) and Jennifer A. Liss (Indiana University)
IMAC co-chairs
Grounded in PCC strategic initiatives and propelled by a series of successful pilot programs, the PCC Identity Management Advisory Committee (IMAC) co-chairs will present a proposal to launch a new fifth program of the PCC, the Entity Management Cooperative (EMCO). Through a new PCC program, IMAC imagines PCC members creating and editing information about entities in registries that are not managed by the Library of Congress, and, ultimately, referencing those entity identifiers in cataloging work. Designed to lower the significant barriers that prevent many institutions from participating in NACO while supporting catalogers already doing entity management work, an EMCO early adopter phase would seek to welcome both non-PCC and PCC colleagues with a diversity of experience and expertise to help lay the foundation for a new PCC program.
Looking forward to seeing you all!
Casey
