Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control – Draft Report

Library of Congress’ Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control released their Draft Report (Pdf) today, and are requesting that people review and comment on their recommendations between now and December 15th.

This promises to be one of the most influential documents in librarianship, influencing the choices and direction of our technology and cataloging for years to come. I have only read their cover letter (Pdf) so far, but I encourage anyone with an interest in the future of libraries, information, and how we will interact with it to download it, read it, think about it, discuss it, and comment.
