Not sure if you meant this as a serious observation, so I apologize if I'm belaboring a response to an off-the-cuff remark. Wouldn't those who are interested in the ask-the-experts session just sign up for the webinar without necessarily announcing that they had done so? The Amigos RDA virtual conference that a number of us on this mailing list presented at last Friday seemed to be well attended, and unlike the ALCTS webinar, attendes had to pay. I am seeing an uptick in the number of ILS system RFPs and RFIs that ask systems vendors about their plans for RDA support; while that of course doesn't directly speak to the level of interest in RDA or the advisability of implementing RDA as currently designed or as it might exist in the future, it does at least signal a trend. Of course, I wouldn't be surprised if general interest in RDA doesn't happen until there are definite plans to implement it. Regards, Galen -- Galen Charlton Equinox Software [email protected]
