There’s now about a month until the privatisation of library data described in Libraries, Cooperatives, OCLC and TTLLP happens.
There’s now a Thingology Blog series on Why libraries must reject the OCLC Policy, with a list of four actions at the end of the first part (three if you’re not in New York on Friday).
Please defend cooperation by reasserting member control of OCLC, or if that fails, please support the Open Library initiatives. Even if you’re not involved with a library, ask your public and association librarians to support these campaigns.
