Yes, it will. It can go away, however, only after there is a new
exchange format that every system understands and can export.
Right now, MARC remains the only such format. For communications
inside and between particular communities, MARC may become
obsolete much earlier. But which other format might LC use
now or in the near future to replace MARC21 for their distribution
services?
