The following is sent on behalf of the OCLC Review Board on Shared Data Creation and Stewardship. Standard cross-posting apologies apply.
Dear Colleague:
As chair of the OCLC Review Board on Shared Data Creation and Stewardship, I invite you to participate in a Web-based survey among librarians and other interested constituents. The primary goal of this survey is to gather input from both OCLC members and non-members about a proposed OCLC policy, Policy for Use and Transfer of WorldCat(r) Records.
The Review Board will consider the results of this survey in its recommendations to OCLC.
Please review the existing guidelines and proposed policy if you have not
already done so:
* Guidelines:

* Proposed Policy:

The OCLC Review Board is an independent committee convened by the OCLC Board of
Trustees and the OCLC Members Council. If you wish to find out more about the
Review Board, please visit these links:

specific instructions on completing the survey:

I invite you to complete this survey yourself or forward it to a colleague with
an interest in this issue. Your opinions and comments are vital to our
evaluation, regardless of your current level of usage of OCLC services or your
relationship to OCLC.
Please complete the questionnaire online by April 8, 2009. To protect the
confidentiality of your responses, all data will be collected, tabulated, and
analyzed by Linray, an independent market research consultant. We will receive
data in aggregate form only; your answers will not be associated in any way
with you or your organization.
If you have questions about the content of the survey, please send an e-mail to
reviewboard_at_oclc.org. As an alternative to the survey, we welcome your feedback
by sending an e-mail to reviewboard_at_oclc.org or posting comments at
http://community.oclc.org/reviewboard/. Please feel free to provide input in
the language of your choice.
Thank you for your participation in this survey.
Sincerely,
Jennifer A. Younger
