This Council, convened by the OCLC Board of Trustees last September, has produced a new draft document that incorporates many suggestions raised by the community over the past year. For example, rather than using legal language, we have drafted the new policy as a code of good practices, intended to outline the rights and responsibilities of OCLC members with regard to the use of WorldCat records. We intend for this document to help inform the decision-making process for member library leaders as they seek to innovate around the shared resource that is WorldCat. We have sought to encourage the widespread use of WorldCat data while also supporting the viability and utility of WorldCat and the OCLC network of services. The draft policy is not final. Between now and the end of May, we very much want your feedback. We hope you will take the time to review the draft policy carefully, and let us know your thoughts. You can post comments to the community forum http://community.oclc.org/recorduse , send an e-mail with your thoughts to record...@oclc.org mailto:record...@oclc.org , or register to attend a webinar http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/catalog/policy/council/default.htm where you can ask questions and submit feedback to members of the Record Use Policy Council. We will continue to add content to the accompanying FAQ http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/catalog/policy/questions/default.htm as we get more questions from the community review process.

[CODE4LIB] Next-generation policy for WorldCat records—open for community review
This list has exhibited interest in the revision of the OCLC Guidelines on the Use and Transfer of WorldCat Records that happened a while back, and the controversy that led to its withdrawal and the creation of an entirely new process to produce another draft. Therefore, I’m pleased to let you know that earlier today the OCLC Record Use Policy Council, made up of OCLC members and two OCLC staff members (list below), notified the membership that the new draft policy is available for review and feedback. I’m certain you will find that it differs in some fairly dramatic ways from the previous revision attempt, and reflects both the rights and responsibilities of OCLC member libraries in creating and maintaining a vital and effective metadata aggregation and the important services that can be built upon it. Please read the draft policy and feel free to send your comments or questions to the Council at record...@oclc.org.

I guess I'm with Ed with this. These fractured lists don't help get input from a wider range of people and even if I wouldn't go to c4lPluto I'd still like to know about it. Is hitting a delete button that big of deal anymore? If so, I don't see the point of signing up for email discussion lists - or at least if you do and volume is an issue, modern email clients have filters or free email accounts that can br used specifically for email lists can be created.

The thing that bums me out is that this discussion list was largely created because there were all these discussions going on in niches like xml4lib, web4lib, perl4lib, php4lib, oss4lib, etc ... and not enough conversation about computing and libraries and cross-fertilization between projects/environments. Now we're seeing the code4lib discussion list itself fragment into code4libmdc, code4lib-north, code4libnyc, code4lib-northwest, etc. I guess an argument could be made that the conversations going on in this sublists would overwhelm code4lib proper with all sorts of local noise. But I think ideally we should have crossed that bridge when we came to it. I think if folks on code4lib saw what was going on in different locales it would inspire people to do stuff where they are too. //Ed
