Dear colleagues,

The National Library of Australia is conducting a short multilingual survey to help the RDA Board understand and plan for the internationalisation of RDA to meet your needs. All the surveys are now live and open – please help us by sending your response and inviting your colleagues and networks to participate.

If you are involved in cataloguing and resource description I encourage you to complete this short survey about RDA in Asia and Oceania. The Resource Description and Access (RDA) cataloguing standard provides instructions and guidelines for creating library catalogue records that meet international data sharing standards.

Information about the RDA standard and international governance is available at: http://www.rdatoolkit.org/

We want your views: if you already use RDA, you are thinking about using it, not considering it, or have barriers to using RDA.

The survey has 11 questions and will take 5-10 minutes to complete. Required questions are marked with an asterisk (*).
Please note: All your responses will be kept in the strictest confidence.

The survey is available in the following languages: English, Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Malay, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese.
