I do a lot of traveling around, talking about where cataloging is going and what catalogers need to do to prepare for present and future change, and listening to cataloger’s concerns. Wherever I go, I still get a lot of questions about RDA’s future. Is RDA really going to happen? Didn’t the LC Bib Control Working Group recommend that it be suspended? The answer to both those questions is “yes,” although naturally there’s more than that simple answer to consider as we think about what it’s going to take to “get there,” wherever we think “there” is. I’m going to expand on those “yes” answers a bit, talk about where “there” might be, and make some suggestions about why we might want to go, and consider some impediments we might encounter.

我游遍世界各地,经常谈论编目的未来、以及编目员应该如何应对未来的话题,同时倾听编目人员的反应。我发现无论我走到哪里,总会被问到有关RDA的未来的 问题:RDA真的能弄出来吗?美国国会馆书目控制工作组不是已经建议中止RDA的工作了?我对这两个问题的回答都是:是的。当然,每次的回答都不会这么简 单,总要涉及:不论我们的“彼岸”在何处,在到达彼岸的路途中,会发生些什么。在这里,我将把我的回答扩展一些,谈谈“彼岸”在哪里,我们应该做些什么, 我们为什么要做,以及会有哪些拦路虎在我们前头。
