RDA or Resource Description and Access is the “cataloging tool for the 21st century” Its final draft has been released and submitted for comments and discussions to all stakeholders as early as 17 November 2008. The Library of Congress and many national bibliographic agencies, national libraries, and university/academic libraries abroad have scheduled in 2013 for full implementation of RDA in their respective libraries. While RDA has steered so much discussion and debate among librarians and information workers abroad, the library community in the Philippines seem not to have been affected by it at all. Perhaps, some librarians and information workers have heard about it but they are not so keen to pursue interest in it because it has not been implemented. IMSI considers this seminar-workshop as an opportune time to steer Filipino librarians to take a look at this new development in organizing resources in the digital world. This seminar workshop, therefore, offers something that Filipino librarians can talk and think about so that when RDA is implemented finally they are ready for it.
