Registrations are now open for the “Resource Description for the 21st Century” seminar to be held from 10:00 am to 4.30 pm on Monday 13 August 2018 at the National Library of Australia, Canberra. The seminar is being organised by the Australian Committee on Cataloguing (ACOC) and is an opportunity to learn about the IFLA-LRM and how it will affect you, as well as the future of the RDA standard. It will be of interest to all librarians, especially cataloguers, metadata creators and library system administrators.
