LRM in a Nutshell
We have also had a number of requests to repeat our first webinar, LRM (Library Reference Model) in a Nutshell – which explains the new conceptual model that forms the basis for RDA’s upcoming changes. Lynn Farkas Information Services is happy to announce that we will provide special access to this webinar recording until the end of January 2019. Please contact farkastraining(a)gmail.com for details of cost, and access instructions. Access to this webinar will require prepayment, so the sooner you contact us the longer you will have to view the webinar.
Helen and I look forward to your attendance at these webinars.
Kind regards,
