This session features updates and special topics in music cataloging and metadata; it is a venue for sharing information on important topics that do not each require their own program sessions. Speakers will provide up to date information on changes to RDA (as well as LC-PCC Policy Statements and MLA Best Practices), LCGFT, LCMPT, LCDGT, MARC, linked data, and the music PCC funnels (NACO, BIBCO, SACO). Special focus this year will be on preparing for implementation of Official RDA in both the PCC and music cataloging community, with a guest speaker from the PCC. (Link to guest speaker's separate slides included in file.)
Belford et al. (2026) studied this question.
