Hi Mr. Sarkar, Thanks for your remarks first. It is always encouraging to hear that RDA Blog is found useful in dissemination of information about RDA. Right now there is no workshop/training programs available in India on RDA and no library has switched to RDA. But in United States and western countries RDA has become a de facto standard for library cataloging. Please keep a regular watch on the posts of RDA Blog <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com> : http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com. If any workshop/training program take place in India, it will be communicated through the blog. I started my career working in a apprenticeship program in Central Reference Library, Kolkata and then in the retroconversion project of National Library, Kolkata. These are premiere institutions and are supposed to maintain a working online catalog meeting international standards and by now should have switched to RDA, but even these institutions are still working on AACR2, that too not properly following rules. Then major university libraries / public library should adopt RDA. Also syllabus of library science coursed should be amended to include teachings on RDA.
