Library Journal's take on the LC working group on Future of Bibliographic Control.
Interesting that the represented group include Google and Microsoft, in addition to the regular library reps.
The Library of Congress announced a Working Group to discuss the future of Bibliographic Control.
They will sponser several regional forums to gather info. and release a draft report for comments by Sept 2007,
with a final report by Nov. 2007
I believe that this is the follow-up promised following the announcement of the changes in series access
announced earlier in 2006.
Believe it or not--Inside Higher Ed reports on a cataloging topic! The article is a basic summary of the LC series decision with references to the Karen Calhoun report and Thomas Mann's rebutal.
