Implementation – thinking ahead • Become familiar with FRBR and RDA before 2009 • Look at RDA online • Keep up to date with developments • Consider budgetary impacts of licensing RDA • Consider impact on productivity during the implementation and bedding in period • Do you need to adjust targets? Is your system vendor aware of RDA? Are there internal impacts on your catalogue?
