SPEC Kit 345: Shared Print Programs · 53
Comments N=6
A unified catalog would be more useful if containing all retention commitments, not just shared ones.
Disclosure of commitments via OCLC seems to be the most effective way to proclaim to the world a binding preservation
commitment and for the world to be able to see how many copies of a given object remain (a fundamental risk
management measurement). Because of WorldCat’s current dominance, there is nothing close.
In how many places do we want to (1) record the information, and (2) have to search to find the information?
It doesn’t seem that recording retention commitments in WorldCat would enhance discovery except in rare
circumstances where creating a bibliographic record for a title was necessary to record the decision. It seems more likely
that recording retention in WorldCat can help with long-term access and delivery.
Not sure I’m interpreting statements correctly. Disclosing retention commitments is primarily useful to libraries
disclosing the holdings is necessary for patrons.
The importance of the discovery is exclusively to staff users merely want to know “Do you have it?” and “How can I
get it?”.
