After that date we will not accept any submissions that are not RDA headings. All Hebraica headings that you create after tomorrow must be submitted to Heidi for review. A formal review with the aim of independence will be undertaken after individual catalogers are considered experienced enough to create NARs according to the rules in RDA Toolkit and LCPS’ on their own. Please let us know when you have completed the webinars.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
