<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Jennifer,<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Could you please distribute this information to the Big Heads group? I wanted to share an update to our discussion in Chicago.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">OCLC will begin the announcements about Institution Records this week. There has been one change from what we discussed at ALA. We will now change to a two phased approach. Batchloading new IRs will be discontinued in December 2015,
and creation/display of IRs in Connexion will be discontinued in June 2016.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We will take a mixed approach of calling some libraries and emailing some.

Local Bibliographic Data</a> (LBD), which enables master record data to be cooperatively managed by thousands of experts and OCLC staff while providing library-specific information for discovery applications. Also, LBDs support future linked data initiatives
and entities-based cataloging workflows. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
