Subject: [NGC4LIB] New record use policy 'WorldCat Rights and Responsibilities for the OCLC Cooperative' - effective August 1
To: NGC4LIB_at_LISTSERV.ND.EDU
Date: Monday, June 21, 2010, 12:13 PM
Sent on behalf of the OCLC Record Use Policy Council.
The new WorldCat record use policy has been approved by the OCLC Board
of Trustees. WorldCat Rights and Responsibilities for the OCLC
Cooperative <http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/recorduse/policy/default.htm>
will be effective August 1, 2010.
Our 12-member Record Use Policy Council undertook a detailed
investigation of the issues and drafted a new policy that we introduced
for community review In April 2010. More than 275 comments were gathered
via e-mail, phone, meetings and letters, in an online forum, and by
monitoring blogs, listservs and Twitter. Your comments resulted in
additions and changes to the draft. At the end of May 2010, we submitted
our revised policy statement to the OCLC Board, which approved the
document during its June meeting.
To view the new policy, including a Frequently Asked Questions document
and a comparison between the draft submitted for community review and
the final document, visit: http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/recorduse/
