RDA-athon: Linking Canada's Authors
Canada's first RDA-athon had cataloguers linking the works of several of Canada’s creative literary artists using RIMMF to build the connections in a hands-on and collaborative learning session. Authors highlighted were: Lee Maracle, Thomson Highway, Lawrence Hill, Dionne Brand, Félix LeClerc, Gabrielle Roy, Lucy Maud Montgomery, and Stephen Leacock!.
The event was sponsored by Library and Archives Canada and Carleton University, and took place on January 27, 2017 at Carleton University, Ottawa, ON, Canada from 9:00 – 16:30.
