Subject: [OCLC-WCL-L] WorldCat Local draft report from Music OCLC Users
Group

Dear WorldCat Local users,

The Music OCLC Users Group (MOUG) Reference Services Committee has been 
working on a document recommending enhancements to WorldCat Local in 
order to make it a better discovery tool for music-related materials. 
While the report speaks to specific issues regarding discovery of 
music-related materials, many of the issues are broader or shared among 
formats; the Committee hopes that the issues and recommendations in the 
draft report will be of general interest to WorldCat Local users.

The draft report is now available through the MOUG website. You may 
access it directly at 
http://www.musicoclcusers.org/WorldCatLocal20100412.pdf.

The document is a draft and is intended as a basis for discussion and 
further examination. The MOUG Board and Reference Services Committee 
welcome comments via OCLC-WCL-L, or comments may be sent directly to the

Reference Services Chair, Rebecca Belford, at rbelford at uoregon.edu 
<mailto:rbelford at uoregon.edu>.

Thank you for your consideration.

Rebecca Belford
Chair, MOUG Reference Services Committee
