WoGroFuBiCo excitement tapering off
Comments on the draft report of the Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control were due on Saturday. I didn’t send one in. I was out last Wednesday for a lively discussion at the pub with some very good cataloguers, and we discussed writing up our talk into a submission, but in the end only Tim Knight sent in comments.
There have been lots of comments elsewhere, from people you know like Tim Spalding, Karen Schneider, Jonathan Rochkind, Lorcan Dempsey and Karen Calhoun from OCLC, Roy Tennant, and more. Karen Schneider posted her comments and has been adding links to others she sees. The wogrofubico tag has been catching on, too. Heh.
The brouhaha is dying down. The Working Group will be busy over the holidays, I imagine, reading comments, thinking about them, talking them over, and polishing their draft into the final report. It’s due in January. I’ll post more then about what it says related to FRBR. Until then, the WoGroFuBiConess level will be fairly low here, unless something wild happens.
