Welcome

ACOC Seminar

The finalisation of details for the ACOC seminar was discussed.

Issues arising from the ALA and CILIP responses to the draft of Part 1 of RDA

Deirdre asked about putting ACOC’s response to Part 1 on the ACOC website.  There was general agreement to this.  Some suggestions were that we do this for all our responses, and also give links to other constituency responses.

Ann then led a discussion on issues from the ALA and CILIP responses to Part 1 of RDA.
