Heidi Hoerman's presentation on RDA from the 2008 OLAC/MOUG/NOTSL Conference.  She reviews RDA and predicts: 

"RDA will die a quiet death.

AACR2r2010 will be published.

RDA's aims will be realized in due time."

 

Worth viewing the slides--wish I could have heard the presentation!

 

"The cataloging rules hotlinked below represent an attempt to realize and/or demonstrate what I thought I heard being described at the International Conference on the Principles & Future Development of AACR in Toronto in October, 1997, the meeting that launched the effort to design a replacement for AACR2. Perhaps those of us at the meeting were each feeling a different part of the elephant, as RDA does not resemble these cataloging rules in the least!"

Revised development schedule:
* March-June 2007: Review of revised chapter 3
* July-September 2007: Review of revised chapters 6-7
* December 2007-March 2008: Review of part B
* July-September 2008: Review of complete draft of RDA

RDA is scheduled for release in early 2009.
