Well you may not get a lot to start with but this is the fate of
pioneers. Jesus did not have a lot of disciples when he started, I
don't have a lot of registrants in AuthorClaim right now etc. But
as far as free library data goes, there is progress today. Our very
own Adrian Pohl and his gang have made their data available
http://www.hbz-nrw.de/dokumentencenter/presse/pm/datenfreigabe_engl
So CERN, HBZ-NRW, soon there will be a third one.
What is important is a conviction that this is the right thing
to do and then do it. It is more productive that whining about
how expensive OCLC is.
