Subject: Re: [RDA-L] Feedback on RDA

Here's another consideration.  When the first draft of RDA came out I spent a 
considerable amount of time looking at it and writing comments.  I sent in my 
comments but I had misinterpreted the deadline given (it did not apply to 
libraries in general--the deadline for that was given somewhere else).  My 
input was not taken, even though I contacted several people about it. I realize 
I was technically at fault for misinterpreting the two deadlines, but it was so 
disheartening to have my input ignored (as I recall I had prepared 14 pages of 
comments relating to problems in RDA for electronic resources, based on my 7 
years of experience cataloging them) that I dropped out of the process.  It 
seemed like comments from librarians were not being all that sought after ...
