It's been almost two years since the Library of Congress report, On the Record, was presented to the cataloging community. You may recall that LC established the Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control to study the future of cataloging and LC's role in it. (By the way, search the Cataloging Futures categories "WoGroFuBiCo" and "WGFBC" for a whirlwind tour of this issue!)
Yesterday, LC released a new, related report and study:
On the Record Report Recommendations the Library of Congress Should Pursue Over the Next Four Years: Report to the Associate Librarian for Library Services, OTR Report Implementation Working Group, Regina Reynolds and Bruce Knarr, co-chairs (09/15/09)
