>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-fin
>al.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. A description of the
>project can be found at:

>The meeting was scheduled for Sunday July 12th at 10:30. We will no
>doubt hear more regarding this project in the coming months, and will
>look forward to holding this session at ALA Midwinter if appropriate.
