<h2 align="center">Next-generation policy for WorldCat
records—open for community review</h2>
<p>The OCLC Record Use Policy Council members have been working
for the past few months to develop the next generation of a WorldCat
use policy, and we are pleased to announce that the draft document, <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://visit.oclc.org/t?r=896&c=2045782&l=120817&ctl=2F208F8:39F87F090F00B0CB533F471FE548BA4AAB211475F9D6EDD4&"
target="_blank">WorldCat Rights and Responsibilities for the OCLC
Cooperative</a>, is open for community review.</p>
<p> This Council, convened by the OCLC Board of Trustees last
September, has produced a new draft document that incorporates many
suggestions raised by the community over the past year. For example,
rather than using legal language, we have drafted the new policy as a
code of good practices, intended to outline the rights and
responsibilities of OCLC members with regard to the use of WorldCat
records. </p>
<p> We intend for this document to help inform the
decision-making process for member library leaders as they seek to
innovate around the shared resource that is WorldCat. We have sought to
encourage the widespread use of WorldCat data while also supporting the
viability and utility of WorldCat and the OCLC network of services. </p>
<p> The draft policy is not final. Between now and the end of
May, we very much want your feedback. We hope you will take the time to
review the draft policy carefully, and let us know your thoughts. You
can post comments to the <a moz-do-not-send="true"

target="_blank">FAQ</a><u> </u>as we get more questions from the
community review process.</p>
<p> We plan to send a revised version of the draft policy to the
OCLC Board of Trustees at the end of May for final review and approval.
We anticipate that a final document will be published mid-calendar year
2010. </p>
<p> Many thanks are due to all the members and librarians who
commented over the past year and whose feedback helped us formulate
this new document. We would especially like to thank the members of the
Record Use Policy Council:</p>
