I caught up with Vice president of OCLC WorldCat and Metadata Services, Karen Calhoun, in the lobby of a hotel across the road from the iconic British Library building in London. Karen was preparing for her presentation at the 2009 OCLC Tech Forum to be held in the Library conference centre.
I took the opportunity to talk to her about the last twelve months since the announcement about changes to the OCLC record reuse policy. We then moved on to discuss how new entrants, Biblios and SkyRiver, in to the record supply sector may alter that landscape.
As well as discussing the themes for her presentation later that morning, we also explored the blurring of the boundaries between OCLC’s traditional record supply focus and the ILS vendor community offering library automation software.
