R2's commissioned report for the Library of Congress

LC's internal working group responds to "On The Record"

"The Library of Congress is releasing today (10/30/09) the results of its analysis of the creation and distribution of bibliographic data in U.S. and Canadian libraries.

The Library commissioned R2 Consulting LLC of Contoocook, N.H., to search and describe the current marketplace for cataloging records in the MARC format, with primary focus on the economics of current practices, including existing incentives and barriers to both contribution and availability."
