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.
