Jennifer,
Thank you so much for sharing your results. I read through the exec summary, and I truly appreciate the direct communication about the survey results. I thought it was me, but the little I have read about RDA makes it seem extremely complicated, and I just don't see how it could be implemented in real library settings. Most of us are operating on a shoe string and a prayer anyway. Perhaps large academic institutions can afford this transition, the planning, the training, the actual implementation, but I believe that school and public libraries will have great difficulty adapting.
I am just one technical services librarian on the sidelines watching the gamesmanship on these critical issues. Thank you again for keeping us informed.
Best regards,
Angela
