[Ohiodig] Final Chance to Register for NOTSL Virtual Fall Meeting, 10/23/26 (Zoom)

[Rachel Sykes]

Posted on behalf of the NOTSL Board; please pardon any duplication.

Registration is ending soon!

Catalogers, still remembering all the changes that came with the switch from AACR2 to RDA? Still not sure of the why or how to implement Official RDA? No clue what an application profile is or how it fits into all this? Come see the experts give an aerial view of the changes to RDA Toolkit and the role of application profiles, then see some samples of both put into practice.

NOTSL will hold its Virtual Fall Meeting, It’s Official!: Implementing RDA… again, on Friday, Oct 23, 2026, via Zoom.

Robert L. Maxwell, Senior Librarian, Brigham Young University; chair-elect, RDA Steering Committee, will provide our keynote presentation. He will talk about Official RDA, and help you learn to find what you’re looking for and interpret what you find. The presentation will include some simple problems covering common cataloging tasks to lead you through the process of using the new Official RDA Toolkit, and help build confidence that “yes, I can do this!”

Keith Knop, Librarian III, Head, Music Cataloging Section at University Libraries, University of Georgia, will present “Exploring the MLA Application Profile for Music Materials” This session will provide an overview of the structure and terminology of the application profile and explore the ways it can be used in conjunction with other documentation, including the MLA Best Practices for Cataloging Music Materials and LC-PCC Policy Statements and Metadata Guidance Documents. We will then walk through practical examples of using the application profile and associated documentation to create a basic record and discuss catalogers' judgment areas where the record could be further fleshed out.

All are welcome; membership is conferred on all attendees.
