Celeripedean, Blog [November 21, 2012] -- Whether you are for or against RDA, I find that there are a number of resources out there.Resource Description and Access Blog by Salman Haider is one of those new resources. Quite simply, it is a blog about RDA. In other words, it attempts to bring under one roof resources about RDA. For the moment, it links out to the RDA Toolkit, and the schedule of webinars to help you learn about and to use the RDA Toolkit. It also provides links to the LC training materials and external working groups on RDA. If you don’t know where to start, this is as good a place as any. But beware, you won’t find any “content” so to speak. There’s no link to RDA itself. Also, content in RDA land tends to be updating rather quickly; sections are being corrected and/or added….still. Make sure you check the currency of any links and the content. Also sign up for webinars now so that you can understand if these resources listed in this blog are slightly dated or just what you need.
Dillon Wackerman, [Dec 9, 2012, e-mail] -- Hello Salman, Visited your RDA blog today. Great work! I'm sure many students and professionals appreciate the time you've put in.

Additional useful links included on the homepage are feeds from RDA Toolkit blog and an extensive list of reference links for catalogers. The frequency of the posts are steady throughout 2013.

The cataloging examples are instructive and the author's assessments are often backed by citation of RDA standards or Library of Congress best practices.

Dorota Walker, Assistant Web Archivist, The British Library, London, England [July 15, 2015, e-mail] -- The British Library would like to archive the following website: Resource Description & Access (RDA). Dear Sir. The British Library would like to archive your website in the UK Web Archive. The UK Web Archive was established in 2004 to capture and archive websites from the UK domain, responding to the challenge of a ‘digital black hole’ in the nation’s memory. It contains specially selected websites that represent different aspects of online life in the UK. We work closely with leading UK institutions to collect and permanently preserve the UK web, and our archive can be seen at http://www.webarchive.org.uk/.
Michael Neubert, Supervisory Digital Projects Specialist, Library of Congress, Washington D.C., United States [July 21, 2015, e-mail] -- Dear Mr. Haider, I have received a suggestion that we archive your RDA oriented blog. At present we don’t have a dedicated collection for library and information science, but we are considering such a collection and your blog would be a good addition to such a collection. In anticipation of that, we’ll start archiving it. Your blog has a Creative Commons license. Typically we do not send a permission or notice to site owners of sites that have such a license (or to put it slightly differently, the curator tool I use does not send notices when I indicate that the site has such a license), so while I am now going to initiate an action to have the site archived, this email will be the only notice of that.
Melissa Runkle, Library Professional, Urbana University, Ohio, United States [September 18, 2015, e-mail] -- Hello Salman, I saw the note at the bottom of your blog and wanted to inform you that I have cited a post from your RDA blog in a discussion board for one of my classes. Your post about the Libhub Initiative as I was discussing BIBFRAME and wanted to include some information on the "molly brown papers" example. Here is how I cited you;
Haider, S. (2015, June 10). Resource Description & Access (RDA). Retrieved September 17, 2015.
... ... Otherwise thank you for providing such great information!
José Antonio Carrillo, University of Salamanca, Spain [March 8, 2016, e-mail] -- Dear Salman, My name is José Antonio Carrillo, I am doing a master’s in Translation and Intercultural Mediation at the University of Salamanca (Spain), and am the manager of a translation project conducted within the university. All members of the project group are students, at master’s and undergraduate level. My colleagues and I need to translate contents from different blogs and journals into Spanish to post them on ExperimenTRADO, a website for academic purposes: http://diarium.usal.es/experimentrado/.This website is run by some professors at the University of Salamanca and it concerns topics such as library science, library studies, information science and technology. We have found many interesting articles on your website that would be ideal translation material since they perfectly suit our blog’s points of interest. Let me remind you that our blog is not profit oriented. The initiative has a twofold purpose: to spread library-related articles and to give students the opportunity to translate in a professional work environment. I am, therefore, requesting permission to translate some of the contents of the website you run to include them in the blog ExperimenTRADO. After being translated, we would include the link to the original website and the name of the author. Let me know if you might agree with the terms as described above. I would be very grateful for your permission. If you require any additional information, do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, José Antonio Carrillo

Susan Powers, Coordinator, Documents on Demand, CMU Libraries, Central Michigan University, Park Library, Michigan, United States [November 17, 2016, e-mail] -- I am interested in learning more about RDA, and really appreciate the work you have done on this blog, but please consider changing the orange background image. It is so hard to read what is in all of the boxes because of the way they move against that background.
Jayaram Haravu (or L. J. Haravu), Managing Trustee at Kesavan Institute of Information and Knowledge Management (KIIKM) and Pioneer of Open Source Library Software movement in India, creator of NewGenLib (www.newgenlib.com) integrated library system, [April 3, 2017, E-mail in LIS-Forum, PCCLIST, AUTOCAT on article Library and Information Science Videos and Resource Description & Access (RDA) blog] -- I congratulate Salman Haider for bringing to our notice this excellent initiative. I am sure this will be an invaluable source to teachers and students of librarianship and information studies. I have been a silent observer and admirer of your commitment to de-mystifying RDA for several years now. What you are doing is most commendable. I wonder, though, how many have taken advantage of your knowledge.
