Allow me to show my ignorance: in OCLC?s *public* catalog ? WorldCat or FirstSearch ? can users a) see institutional records, or b) search on data recorded only in institutional records? If so, how? Clearly I don?t spend enough time on the reference desk.<br>
<br>
A contingent of Yale catalogers will have the opportunity to discuss this issue with OCLC representatives (in New Haven) on April 1. If additional details come to light, we?ll be happy to share with the list.<br>

We would be very badly affected by this apparently unilateral action. All of our holdings are on IRs. I haven?t read the explanation about ?local bibliographic data? carefully yet, but one thing that strikes me right off the bat is the statement ?Using local bibliographic data (LBD), you can add local information to a bibliographic record that is specific to your institution?s title; however, other institutions will not be able to see that information in the WorldCat master record and your users will only see your institution?s LBD.? This strikes me as very bad, especially for special collections. As we all know, users of special collections depend on the ability to see other institutions? local information for their research?e.g., to find out who has books signed by Abraham Lincoln, or whose copy has a particular woodcut that only some copies have.<br>
<br>
I am also surprised, if this was discussed at Big Heads, that not a peep about this has surfaced until now. At least I certainly hadn?t heard anything about it before reading the message you forwarded, Oksana. Maybe I haven?t been paying attention.<br>

Subject: [DCRM-L] Discontinuation of OCLC's institutional records program<br>
<br>
Hello:<br>
I was very disappointed to learn about the discontinuation of OCLC's institutional records program.<br>
Clements Library uses IRs heavily, so I'm curious how many peer institutions will be affected by this action.<br>
I would like to ask: how other rare material libraries maintain and preserve local data?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
Oksana.<br>

Subject: OCLC Institution Records update for Big Heads<br>
<br>
Hi Jennifer,<br>
<br>
Could you please distribute this information to the Big Heads group? I wanted to share an update to our discussion in Chicago.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
We will take a mixed approach of calling some libraries and emailing some.<br>
<br>
Announcements will include the following information:<br>
<br>
The alternative to IRs is Local Bibliographic Data<<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.oclc.org_content_dam_support_documentation_cataloging_Working-5Fwith-5FLBDs.pdf&d=AwMGaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=t7GDkvcZa922K6iya7a6MxgVxxw7OjL0m1rPBXkflk4&m=BNnRkl6rA7mbWWSoDmDOPw6UW01KQOq8cXNVNY18F7U&s=2VelgeRrEhUPOaruHogDJ9zwDucJ6VRLzq6gZtdiDwU&e=" target="_blank">https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.oclc.org_content_dam_support_documentation_cataloging_Working-5Fwith-5FLBDs.pdf&d=AwMGaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=t7GDkvcZa922K6iya7a6MxgVxxw7OjL0m1rPBXkflk4&m=BNnRkl6rA7mbWWSoDmDOPw6UW01KQOq8cXNVNY18F7U&s=2VelgeRrEhUPOaruHogDJ9zwDucJ6VRLzq6gZtdiDwU&e=</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.<br>
<br>
The ability to create IRs via batchload will conclude in December 2015. Connexion will support creation of IRs until June 2016, when support for IRs will end. We will offer institutions two options:<br>
<br>
1. Delete existing IRs<br>
<br>
2. Create LBDs from existing IRs or from local system records<br>
An FAQ is available on the OCLC web site and will be shared with libraries: <a href="http://www.oclc.org/connexion/resources.en.html#questions" target="_blank">http://www.oclc.org/connexion/resources.en.html#questions</a><<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.oclc.org_connexion_resources.en.html-23questions&d=AwMGaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=t7GDkvcZa922K6iya7a6MxgVxxw7OjL0m1rPBXkflk4&m=BNnRkl6rA7mbWWSoDmDOPw6UW01KQOq8cXNVNY18F7U&s=Jlv7tDcKqClkkca09MrBxHLYHHm03HPHM3u1MQ8VAZU&e=" target="_blank">https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.oclc.org_connexion_resources.en.html-23questions&d=AwMGaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=t7GDkvcZa922K6iya7a6MxgVxxw7OjL0m1rPBXkflk4&m=BNnRkl6rA7mbWWSoDmDOPw6UW01KQOq8cXNVNY18F7U&s=Jlv7tDcKqClkkca09MrBxHLYHHm03HPHM3u1MQ8VAZU&e=</a>>.<br>
<br>
I will be presenting at the upcoming OCLC CJK Users Group meeting in Chicago next week on March 24, and I will include information about this in my presentation.<br>
<br>
If anyone from the Big Heads group have any questions, feel free to contact Sandi Jones (<a href="mailto:joness@oclc.org">joness@oclc.org</a><mailto:<a href="mailto:joness@oclc.org">joness@oclc.org</a>>) who is overseeing this effort, or me.<br>
