NGC4Lib mailing list

If you read any library-related weblogs at all you’ve probably already seen Eric Lease Morgan’s announcement of the new NGC4Lib mailing list (that’s “next-generation catalogues for libraries”). One of the possible topics for discussion mentioned in the announcement is, “To what degree should traditional cataloging practices be used in such a thing, or to what degree should new and upcoming practices such as FRBR be exploited?”

The list got off to a lively start as you can see in its archives.
