Here is the bottom line is on page 8

RDA - Status and Next Steps

Resource Description and Access (RDA) will supersede Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd edition in 2009.

It says "No significant changes to existing records will be required" I wonder what Significant means and more importantly - what changes in indexing will be required to OPACS and How much that will cost.

Ok, that being said I will continue - "RDA instructions are designed to be independent of the format, medium or system used to store or communitate the data, and to be readily adaptable to newly-emerging database structures."

Although it says it is readily adaptable, it still does not answer the question of existing ILS - (Integrated Library Systems) and what changes in access points will be have to be made on the public library catalog for patrons and librarians to learn.
