from May, she states that it is possible for others to view the LBD. My understanding is that LBD from other institutions will not be viewable in Record Manager when we are cataloging, but will be viewable regardless of institutional affiliation in WorldCat

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear colleagues, <br>
<br>
I have been silent on all of this, but I guess it's time to chime in. University of Delaware became the first "major" institution to adopt WorldShare Management Services, and we migrated last summer.
<br>
<br>
WMS (which goes by many derogatory nicknames here, like WMD) is the way OCLC takes over your ILS. Circulation, reserves, cataloging, acquisitions, everything. Not to put too fine a point on it, hearing talk about going to check an institution's local catalog
makes me cringe, because WE NO LONGER HAVE A LOCAL CATALOG. We have OCLC records with extra things dangling from them. Whenever I explain it to someone outside of our library, they ask if I'm looking for another job (I'm not). The library spent about 18 months
working with OCLC on the system, then another 12 months when it became clear that they wouldn't be ready for the go live date, and there is still continual communication and activity between UD and OCLC.<br>
<br>
When I search for a record in the metadata module of WMS, it takes me to the master record, the Local Bib Data (if there is one), and the Local Holdings Record (if there is one). Local notes go into the LBD (natch, but you never know with these things). Because
I've been in denial for the past year, I haven't checked what our records look like on the other end, but I figured now was the time, and I have had a friend at a different institution take a look.
<u>It is, in fact, possible for others to see the LBD</u>. When the holdings come up in WorldCat.org (I don't know about FirstSearch, I didn't check that yet), if you click on the holding library's name, the notes come up under the "Details" section. This
isn't a very exciting record (the book happened to be on my desk because one of the copies dropped out in the migration, which is a story for another day), but if you want to take a look, this is the record she checked:

<br>
Believe me, I'm not a fan of WMS, but at least for now, I know people can see our local data. Or at least she could ...<br>

<pre>Furthermore, the Harvard Library has 30 OCLC symbols in use; I asked in the 11am webinar if individual libraries would be able to view the others' LBD. The response was that we would only be able to view the symbol associated with the login. Speaking personally, I can't imagine that the LBD would ever be more useful than Harvard's shared local catalog (or even the notes on our old catalog cards, for that matter). <o:p></o:p></pre>

<p class="MsoNormal">Ah interesting. Then I heard that wrong. I apologize for making that claim then.<br>
As that is the case then searching in HOLLIS will give you a far better idea than LBDs!!<br>

<pre>I also found the statement that no end of life date has been determined for Connexion quite ominous. More generally speaking, I found the responses were often very vague and didn't necessarily answer the question being asked in a meaningful way.<o:p></o:p></pre>

<p class="MsoNormal">Very much agreed, Honor. The answers were very vague that way and most unsatisfying.<br>
