Subject: OCLC Union List Users Group Meeting
For the meeting at ALA of the OCLC Union List of Serials Users Group
(OULUG), I would appreciate any discussion and/or projections that
Serial's librarians would like to share regarding the future of Union Lists.
Of particular interest would be comments on any cost/benefit analyses that
have been done of the labor intensive effort necessary for maintenance of
current holdings data on the OCLC Union List.
Join us for an OCLC report and group discussion at the
OCLC Union List Users Group meeting
Monday June 29
Mosconi Center Room 122
6-8 pm
Johanna Bowen, Serials librarian

This information is being cross-posted to the following: AN2, CWIS-L, ILL-L,
LIBPLN-L, LIBREF-L, PACS-L, SERIALST.
TOPIC: PROPRIETARY OBSTACLES
Richard Rowe coined this term at the Faxon Users' Group meeting in
San Antonio.
Rowe uses the term "to cover several inter-related issues swirling
around the basic concept of information as property and as having
increased perceived value." Some of the interrelated issues are
privatization of knowledge, control of copyright in the electronic
environment, and the importance librarians continue to place on
large collections.
Librarians need to better identify and take a stand on these. Many
obstacles may have already been "resolved" without any discussion
in the profession.
FORMAT: Audience discussion
DISCUSSION LEADER: Ann L. Okerson
Director, Office of Scientific & Academic Publishing
WHERE: Hyatt Regency San Francisco, Pacific H-K
WHEN: Sunday, June 27, 1992, 11:30-12:30
