[DCRM-L] MARC / Bibframe

[Rich, Allison]

Hi Helena:

Please do.
This is what I was told in the search committee meeting just now.

The new head of tech services at the main library is extremely anti-MARC.
It makes me a bit agitated to be honest.

I would like to hear the timeframe from an "official" source.

Thank you,
Allison
