The Minutes of our January meeting (RSC/Minutes/500-507) have been published on the website and archived to ALAIR.
Topics discussed included: Action Plan 2025-2027 (RSC/Chair/2025/1), annual refresh of the Operations Documents, updates from Working Groups (including the introduction of Advisory Working Groups), the White Paper on Artificial Intelligence, updates from the regional representatives, Wider Community Engagement Officer, Education and Orientation Officer and ALA Digital Reference.
Observers will remember that the Public Session included a live demonstration of the RDA-DACH Manual, which is still available to watch.
Our next Public Session will take place online on Tuesday 8 April 2025 at 6pm UTC (There is a handy time converter here).
At its upcoming Public Session on 8 April, the RSC will be discussing a proposal from NARDAC which seeks to accommodate a range of numbers that are associated with a given name and that are an integral part of the name. (The current instructions at RDA 17.05.43.58 and RDA 13.42.83.17 give options solely for roman numerals).
You can read the proposal and formal responses to it as they are received on the RSC/NARDAC/2025/1 webpage.
The full agenda for the Public Session will be published soon. If you would like to be added to the list of observers (who will be sent the link to the meeting closer to the time), please contact Anne Welsh, RSC Secretary, with the subject line "RSC Observers April 2025", RSCsecretary@rdatoolkit.org
