12. Implementation issues (-)  Training  Cataloguers are human beings!  Hybrid data  RDA in MARC is not full RDA  Relationship designators and WEMI  Structured descriptions of related resources, not links  Productivity  Full effects cannot be seen with partial RDA (in MARC)  Ongoing development of RDA  Continuing professional development required

13. Implementation issues (+)  Positive response to new approach  Better able to meet the current and future needs of libraries  Team-building in adversity  Opportunity to review policies and procedures  Because that’s the way they did it when I arrived  Not as difficult it as it looks?  RDA is more logical  Not as expensive as anticipated?  RDA is designed for machine-processing
