[Mcls-print-storage] Fw: Invitation to advise OCLC about support for shared print collections

[Randy Dykhuis]

OCLC is sponsoring several meetings at ALAMW about shared print and how 
they can support consortia & libraries. Yesterday, Bill Carney asked me 
for suggestions of  folks who could attend a meeting on Saturday 1/26 from 
8:30 - 9:30 or 3:30 - 4:30. Would you let me know if you're interested in 
receiving an invitation from Bill to attend one of those meetings? I'll 
forward names back to him & you'll get an invitation. Space is limited so 
if you're interested probably best to get info to him soon.

I've also been invited to a meeting of consortium folks to talk about the 
topic on Friday 1/25. Bill sent along the questions below to help them 
prepare for the meetings. If any of you have thoughts about the things 
that OCLC could do to support MI-SPI as it currently exists and as it 
might expand in the future, please let me know.  I'll report back at our 
Feb mtg.

> Shared Print Discussion Questions:
> 
> 1. OCLC recently announced support for registering Shared Print 
> holdings in WorldCat based on the Print Archived Metadata 
> Guidelines. Through this service, libraries can disclose shared 
> print holdings using OCLC Connexion or batch load/LHRUS to add the 
> holdings to WorldCat, and manage resource-sharing requests through 
> WCRS and/or ILLiad. How closely does this service meet your shared 
> print needs?
> 
> 2. OCLC will be looking at the feasibility of enhancing current 
> services across the platform in support of shared print.  What are 
> the top three needs/functions that OCLC must have going forward to 
> meet the needs of your shared print project?
> 
> 3. OCLC is interested in working with organizations that provide 
> value to your library or group regarding shared print.  What groups/
> organizations should OCLC be reaching out to, and how should OCLC be
> working with them, e.g., access to WorldCat and holdings, access to 
> OCLC services themselves, or other ideas?
> 
> Sincerely,
> Bill Carney, OCLC
