  14. Let’s Do It! • Scenario: You have a small technical services staff. PCC and LC begin using RDA March 31, 2013. • Draft an implementation plan for implementing RDA at your library

Talk about them, what they mean and how they relate to your work • Look at your mission and goals; think about how your practices relate to them and make use of that in your communications
