RDA Rewording
• First batch of reworded chapters (9, 10, 11, & 6) were released in RDA Toolkit in Dec. 2012.
• Remaining reworded chapters released as available with the expectation that all reworded chapters released by mid 2013.
RDA Print
• A new print accumulation of RDA will be issued once all of the reworded chapters are complete (currently expected in mid 2013)
• All changes made to RDA up to and including the 2013 RDA Update will be included.
• Annual print updates are expected to this accumulation beginning in mid 2014 and every year thereafter.
Essential RDA
