On 5-Nov-2008, [[OCLC]] announced the Policy for Use and Transfer of [[WorldCat]]® Records to replace the Guidelines for the Use and Transfer of OCLC-Derived Records.  The goals of the policy, as described by OCLC, were "to modernize record use and transfer practices for application on the Web, foster new uses of WorldCat data that benefit members and clarify data sharing rights and restrictions."  This new policy generated considerable discussion in the library community, including two petitions, several trade publication articles, and over 80 blog posts with related comments. 
 
  
On 13-Jan-2009, OCLC announced a [http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/catalog/policy/board/default.htm Review Board of Shared Data Creation and Stewardship] with a charge to: consult with librarians and member representatives as appropriate; review reports, letters and comments including blog and listserv messages from the global library community regarding the revised Policy; and recommend principles of shared data creation and changes in the Policy for Use and Transfer of WorldCat Records that will preserve the community around WorldCat infrastructure and services, and strengthen libraries. The Review Board submitted its [http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/catalog/FinalReport_ReviewBoard.pdf final report] to OCLC on 22-Jun-2009 recommending that the proposed policy be withdrawn and a Record Use Policy Development Task Force be formed along with a "formal, transparent and well-managed process" to create a new policy. In a [http://www.oclc.org/news/releases/200939.htm news release] posted on 26-Jun-2009, OCLC accepted these recommendations.

Revision as of 16:33, 5 December 2011

       == Background ==

On 5-Nov-2008, OCLC announced the Policy for Use and Transfer of WorldCat Records to replace the Guidelines for the Use and Transfer of OCLC-Derived Records. The goals of the policy, as described by OCLC, were "to modernize record use and transfer practices for application on the Web, foster new uses of WorldCat data that benefit members and clarify data sharing rights and restrictions." This new policy generated considerable discussion in the library community, including two petitions, several trade publication articles, and over 80 blog posts with related comments.

On 13-Jan-2009, OCLC announced a<span class="plainlinks"blu cigs coupon/span>with a charge to: consult with librarians and member representatives as appropriate; review reports, letters and comments including blog and listserv messages from the global library community regarding the revised Policy; and recommend principles of shared data creation and changes in the Policy for Use and Transfer of WorldCat Records that will preserve the community around WorldCat infrastructure and services, and strengthen libraries. The Review Board submitted its final report to OCLC on 22-Jun-2009 recommending that the proposed policy be withdrawn and a Record Use Policy Development Task Force be formed along with a "formal, transparent and well-managed process" to create a new policy. In a news release posted on 26-Jun-2009, OCLC accepted these recommendations.

On 7-April-2010, the Review Board of Shared Data Curation and Stewardship posted their draft policy for a period of review and comment (see link below).

This page documents the discussion of members of the library community surrounding the revision of the Guidelines and creation of the Policy. It can be edited by anyone who has registered for an account on the Code4Lib wiki. Registration on the Code4Lib wiki is open to anyone with an e-mail address.

The Policy

Links to various forms of the policy -- previous editions, drafts, etc -- in reverse chronological order.



Petitions

On November 13, 2008, a petition called Stop the OCLC powergrab! was started by Aaron Swartz to repeal the new policy. Background in his blog post, Stealing Your Library: The OCLC Powergrab.

On December 1, 2008, Elaine Sanchez created a new petition with more depth and specificity. The petition calls for OCLC to vacate the new policy, create a more open process for revising the 1987 guidelines, and assert that the records are the property of the respective contributing members. Ms. Sanchez posted an announcement about it on the Autocat mailing list.
