SALMAN HAIDER 

I’m Salman Haider; presently serving as Cataloging & Metadata Librarian. I am also a blogger and online social media expert. I have designed RDA Blog, Librarianship Studies & Information Technology Blog, RDA Bibliography, and RDA Special Topics & Materials Blog to help myself in my professional responsibilities of cataloging of documents in various formats and keeping abreast with latest developments on Resource Description & Access (RDA), library cataloging, librarianship & information technology, and library & knowledge organization and management.

 

 

 

I’m a Graduate in Science (B.Sc.) with Computer Science, Mathematics, and Statistics from Lucknow University and completed my Post Graduation in Library and Information Science (M.Lib.&I.Sc.) from Aligarh Muslim University with a First Class securing IInd Rank and the prestigious Gold Medal P.N. Kaula - S. Bashiruddin Gold Medal for Library Classification. I also achieved the Under Graduate Merit Scholarship and the Post Graduate Merit Scholarship for B.Lib.&I.Sc. and M.Lib.&I.Sc. respectively.

 

Few people dream about becoming librarians when they are little, and I was one of the ones who did. I have the experience of working in some of the biggest, finest, and modern libraries, and that too on very responsible positions. Prior to my present job, I worked at the Indian School of Business Library, National Library of India, and Central Reference Library.
