He is active on several committees of the American Library Association and the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS). He is currently on the Policy Committee of the Program for Cooperative Cataloging, the Editorial Board of the ALCTS journal Library Resources & Technical Services, and recently chaired the PCC task group that created the RDA BIBCO Standard Record guidelines. In addition to his publications on metadata and cataloging, Mr. Cronin has been a consultant on a number of metadata initiatives, both nationally and internationally. He was the coordinator for the University of Chicago's testing, and subsequent implementation, of RDA.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'> Abstract: For some, the prospect of implementing an entirely new cataloging code may be overwhelming. Libraries everywhere are experiencing diminished staffing levels and reduced funding for professional development. Meeting the basic operational demands of our libraries competes with finding resources (and energy!) to learn about, properly train, and even motivate staff and administrators to focus resources on the “added challenge” of RDA implementation. Reflecting on our experience as an early adopter of RDA at the University of Chicago, this presentation will highlight practical strategies and “best practices” for how libraries of all types and sizes might approach managing RDA implementation, without heavy or long-term compromises to normal operation.<a name="_GoBack"></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Date: Friday, April 5, 2013<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Location: Cleveland State University, Student Center, 2121 Euclid Avenue<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Parking: South garage, on East 21st and Prospect, across from the Wolstein Center<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Directions: <a href="http://www.csuohio.edu/aboutcsu/directions/">http://www.csuohio.edu/aboutcsu/directions/</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Campus Map: <a href="http://www.csuohio.edu/aboutcsu/campusmap.pdf">http://www.csuohio.edu/aboutcsu/campusmap.pdf</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Schedule: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>9-9:30 a.m. Registration and light refreshments<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>9:30-9:40.
