<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hello list:<br>
<br>
This is not welcome news for us either.<br>
We have been using IRs from the very beginning after RLIN died.<br>
I always saw IR's as a concession to RLIN libraries and the
"cluster system".<br>
<br>
I printed out the LBD information to look at later when I, like
Robert, can read it more carefully.<br>
If there is a group letter or form of protest going around to
OCLC, then the JCB would very much like to be part of that.<br>
People who use special collections are very interested in seeing
other data from local collections at other institutions.<br>
This strikes me as very short sighted and a load of other words I
really should not add here.<br>
<br>
I would also like to know when and how this was decided without
getting input from institutions which use the IRs.<br>
It seems like this was a backroom decision.<br>
Not good at all.<br>

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 “</span><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
