RDA 17th Plenary Meeting - Pathways

Welcome to the RDA Plenary Pathways for P17!

Find your breakout sessions by theme.

The Plenary Pathways are the result of a joint effort between TAB and OA to provide a guide through the rich diversity of topics that the plenary presents. As such, they are meant to enhance the plenary experience rather than constrain, to highlight convergences, and to propose divergences you may not have considered. We hope you find them useful.

Please find the Pathways below:
