RDA
Resource Description & Access (RDA) is an international standard for cataloging practice that has also become the standard in the Netherlands. Fobid has a special interest group of RDA experts, who can advise on the implementation of the RDA standard in Dutch libraries. Read more on the RDA committee website (Dutch only).

The existing NCC-IBL system has been replaced by Worldshare-ILL, an international system for ILL. Read more on the UKB website.
