Subject: OLAC statement on OCLC's proposed new Policy for Use and Transfer of WorldCat(r) Records

OLAC's Cataloging Policy Committee (CAPC) has issued a statement of
concern about OCLC's proposed new Policy for Use and Transfer of
WorldCat(r) Records (available from
http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/catalog/policy) on behalf of the OLAC
membership. This statement has been reviewed by the membership and
endorsed by the executive board. The statement can be found at http://www.olacinc.org/drupal/capc_files/OLAConOCLCPolicyFinal.pdf.

We are planning to forward this position statement to the Review Board
on Principles of Shared Data Creation and Stewardship and the OCLC
Record Use Group. We would also like to send copies to the OCLC Members
Council delegates. If you would like to volunteer to send a copy of the
final version to your delegate(s), please contact me at the email address below. The Members Council directory is available at
http://www.oclc.org/memberscouncil/delegates/default.htm.

Thank you.
