> The ALCTS Automated Acquisitions Discussion Group will hold a session
> at ALA that may be of interest:
>
> The ALCTS Automated Acquisitions In-Process/Control Systems Discussion
> Group invites you to a presentation of R2 Consulting’s recent research
> associated with the Library of Congress Project on the Creation and
> Distribution of MARC Records in North America.
>
> In response to the report prepared last year by the LC Working Group
> on the Future of Bibliographic Control
> (http://www.loc.gov/bibliographic-future/news/lcwg-ontherecord-jan08-final.pdf),
> the Library of Congress commissioned R2 Consulting, LLC to research
> and describe the North American marketplace for cataloging records,
> including existing incentives and barriers to both contribution and
> availability. The scope of this project is broad, including data
> gathered from all types of US and Canadian producers, distributors,
> and consumers of MARC records. Ruth Fischer, of R2 Consulting will
> provide an overview of their research and lead what we expect to be a
> lively discussion. It should be understood that R2 will not be
> speaking for the Library of Congress, but about their findings only. A
> description of the project can be found at:
> http://www.r2consulting.org/pdfs/LC%20Press%20Release.pdf
>
> R2 has also established a website as a resource for the project:
> http://bibrecords.ning.com/
>
> We hope you’ll join us on Sunday July 12th from 10:30-Noon in the
> Chicago Hilton, Lake Ontario Room.
