and new research potentials
June 3, 2013

2. Outline
• Introduction
– future of cataloging
– What is RDA
• Various research potentials
• RDA in Poland...?
• Discussion, questions
• Summary

3. Future of cataloging
The future of bibliographic control will be
collaborative, decentralized, international in scope,
and Web-based. (...) Data will be gathered from
multiple sources; change will happen quickly; and
bibliographic control will be dynamic, not static.
The underlying technology that makes the future
possible and necessary––the World Wide Web––is
now almost two decades old. Libraries must continue
the transition to this future without delay in order to
retain their significance as information providers.
(Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control On the Record, on January 9, 2008)
