Library Journal article on new OCLC WorldCat records policy

["B.G. Sloan" <bgsloan2@yahoo.com>]

"This document, the final product of the Record Use Policy 
Council, comes 18 months after the first proposed update to the 
1987 Guidelines for the Use and Transfer of OCLC-Derived Records. 
That initial attempt, which came from OCLC management,  met with 
significant opposition from individual critics, as well as 
organizations including ARL and ICOLC, and was eventually 
withdrawn. The new policy "is very much a member document," noted 
Barbara Gubbin, Director, Jacksonville Public Library and Council 
co-chair".
