The Committee is the body within the United Kingdom responsible for:
Developing proposals for revisions to RDA on behalf of EURIG, including the submission of new rules and changes to existing ones.
Reviewing proposals put forward by the other constituencies for additions to and revisions of RDA.
Providing information and feedback to EURIG representatives and the Eurpoean representative to the RDA Steering Committee (RSC).
Membership of the Committee is flexible, but aims for roughly equal representation from the two partner bodies. At least two members are nominated by CILIP's Cataloguing and Indexing Group (CIG). The UK representative to the RSC ia a member ex officio. From time to time, the Committee may seek advice and assistance with its work from other UK bodies or individuals.
There is no fixed term governing membership of the Committee. The Chair is appointed by the Committee from among its members. The Secretariat is provided by the British Library.
The Committee conducts much of its business by e-mail; meetings are held two or three times a year, according to the demands and schedule of RSC work. Meetings are usually held at the British Library (St. Pancras) in London (Google map), and are open to members of the two constituent bodies; such attendance is in a non-voting capacity.
Dissemintation of information is carried out through this website, and through the lis-ukbibs mailing list.
The Committee has a formal constitution (PDF file).
