Comments on: Karen Calhoun on OCLC’s Updated Record Use Policy http://blog.ecorrado.us/2008/11/05/karen-calhoun-on-worldcat/ Ramblings about library technology, open source software, and other adventures!

I still think it is an improvement for it not to be required though. I am undecided what I would recommend that we do at Binghamton University at this time. I think I need to see how this shakes out a little more. One of the things I really didn't like about the notice requirements is it looked like they were only going to link to the current version of the policy. I am happy to see that Karen Calhoun forwarded this concern of mine to the Study Group and David Whitehair has posted that they <a href="http://community.oclc.org/metalogue/archives/2008/11/notes-on-oclcs-updated-record.html#comment-770" rel="nofollow">will add versioning information to the 996 field</a>. Between the now "encouraged" nature of the 996 and the versioning I am a lot more happy with the attribution issue. Of course, that doesn't help fix the other concerns I have, but it is a start. Tim,

It looks to me like whether notice is given or not, the terms remain in effect. In such a situation, it's better to know what's going on and to what records than to have ambiguous records floating around. Do you see my point? I’m undecided on the notice requirements.
