The RDA Toolkit Restructure and Redesign (3R) Project adds greater flexibility and utility to RDA Toolkit's display of instructions and RDA-related documents and updates the look and feel of the site. The restructure portion of the project involved a major rebuild of the instruction repository in order to bring it in line with current data management best practices, make RDA data more modular and dynamic, and allow the RSC to track and manage a greater range of metadata associated with the instructions. The redesign portion of the project included adoption of a responsive design and a plan to bring the site in compliance with established accessibility standards. There are also improvements to toolkit navigation, display, and features to create a user experience that is more intrinsically of the web. At the same time, RDA is being edited to bring it in compliance with the IFLA Library Reference Model (LRM).

Revision
The RDA standard and the RDA Toolkit are currently undergoing a major revision, with implementation at the Library expected to take place during 2020. The revision comprises a complete redesign of the online Toolkit, a restructure of the standard to align with the IFLA Library Reference Model, which replaced FRBR, FRAD and FRSAD in 2017, and a consequent rewriting of the instructions. A beta version of the Toolkit is already available, and the final version of the English text will be released in late April this year.
While not as large scale as the original implementation of RDA in 2013, support and training will still be required in order for staff to correctly interpret RDA and effectively utilise the new Toolkit in their work. It will also involve revision of policies on RDA, and may involve changes to cataloguing workflows and documentation.
