Hi,
I know some preservation departments do limited cataloging so thought this may be of interest to a few of you.

You might already know that the Library of Congress has decided to
continue its investigation into the creation and distribution of
bibliographic data in US and Canadian libraries --- with primary focus
on the economics of current practices. LC has engaged R2 Consulting,
LLC to lead the investigation. The research we are conducting and the
eventual outcome of the project could have significant implications for
libraries of all types. To keep people informed about the progress of
our work, and to get input from catalogers and cataloging coordinators,
we have constructed a social networking site at:
http://bibrecords.ning.com/
</exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://bibrecords.ning.com/> We have been
promoting the site for several weeks now, but have failed to attract
significant numbers from the public and school library communities.
We are contacting you now with the hope that you will help us get the
word out to technical services departments and catalogers in your
state. We want them to join our network so that they are aware of the
project, so that they can communicate their needs and interests, and so
that we can easily invite them to participate in our online survey next
month. So again: http://bibrecords.ning.com/
</exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://bibrecords.ning.com/>
Thanks in advance for whatever support you can offer and if you have
questions, please don't hesitate to be back in touch.
Sincerely,
