Polaris Users Group Annual Meeting

Full Name: Maria Smucker
Library System: Washington County Free Library

Learning Event website: http://www.polarisusersgroup.org/event-900460

Top 3 things learned:
1) Current library practices in training and implementing RDA standards -
more libraries have adopted RDA, but it's still very much all over the place
in terms of how much is done.
2) Common concerns and issues shared by cataloging/TP staff in other
libraries
3) Still a work-in-progress with FRBR and the future shape of authority
records

How to implement: 
Focus future training on developments in RDA and especially the somewhat esoteric FRBR if possible. Eventually this will impact the catalog.
