Im folgenden die Mail von Troy Linker im Original-Wortlaut:

I would like to introduce myself to the cataloging community as Publisher 
for the newly created Digital Reference unit at ALA Publishing. The 
Digital Reference unit is responsible for ALA's co-publisher role in RDA 
(Resource Description and Access) the digital replacement for AACR2. 
Some of you may know me from my 12 years' experience at ALA Publishing, 
working on RDA and AACR2 in addition to many other publishing projects. My 
role with RDA has expanded, from the production and software development 
responsibility that I have held from the beginning, to include 
coordinating the full breadth of ALA Publishing's responsibilities for 
RDA. 

As we approach the launch of the RDA Toolkit, the website that will house 
RDA in addition to other helpful cataloging resources and tools, we want 
to increase the direct communication between the co-publishers of RDA and 
the cataloging community.  I am committed to actively reading and, when 
helpful, posting responses to questions and concerns raised by catalogers 
in a variety of venues (like this one) regarding the RDA and the RDA 
Toolkit.  

We will soon post registration information for an upcoming RDA Toolkit 
Webinar offering a repeat of the guided tour of the RDA Toolkit beta site 
given at ALA's Midwinter Meeting. In addition to the Webinar, the co-
publishers are drafting an RDA Toolkit FAQ that will address many of the 
recent questions asked by attendees at Midwinter, posted to lists, or sent 
to rdatoolkit at ala.org.   We will post the FAQ URL as soon as it is 
active.  

To receive RDA Toolkit announcements and news directly from the co-
publishers, please email us at rdatoolkit at ala.org so we can add you to our 
RDA Toolkit mailing list.  These announcements will come out frequently 
over the next few months as we approach the June 2010 launch of the RDA 
Toolkit.

Kind regards,

Troy Linker
