No sign of the draft yet, but the following information has been sent out to a number of Australian library lists and I thought New Zealand cataloguers might be interested in subscribing. With the imminent release of the final draft of Resource Description and Access (RDA), the National Library of Australia has established a new email list for discussion of RDA as it relates to specific to Australian libraries, including implementation and training matters. To subscribe to the list send a message to sympa@nla.gov.au In the subject line of your message, type in subscribe rdaaust Firstname Name (replace Firstname Name with your own first name and last name). For example subscribe rdaaust Mary Smith Leave the message body blank You should then receive a welcome message with details of how to post messages to the list etc. Chris (Christine) Todd Team Leader, Monos Plus Team, Content Services, National Library of New Zealand. Telephone: (04) 474 3093 Fax: (04) 474 3161 Email: chris.todd@natlib.govt.nz

At last week's Book Blitz 3 MARC course at Auckl Uni, Deborah Fritz said she was of the opinion we may be in for a bit more of a wait for even the draft - so perhaps don't hold your breath!
