<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">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,
<b>other institutions will not be able to see that information</b> 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.
