[Enhance] Report on Enhance Sharing Session, ALA Annual, June 2010

[Weitz,Jay]

Dear Enhance Participants, 

Attached is a report on the Enhance Sharing Session that took place at
the American Library Association Annual Conference in Washington, D.C.,
on Friday, 2010 June 25.  Special thanks to my OCLC colleague Linda
Gabel for her diligent note-taking.  Also attached is the text of the
"News From OCLC" handout that was distributed at the session.  The "OCLC
Policy Statement on RDA Cataloging in WorldCat for the U.S. Testing
Period," a second handout at the Enhance Session, is available online at
http://www.oclc.org/us/en/rda/policy.htm.

Please note that the Enhance Participants List is available at 
http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/quality/enhance/default.htm
<http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/quality/enhance/default.htm>  and most
other Enhance documentation can be accessed from the "Enhance-Level
Cataloging" section of the OCLC Web site's "WorldCat and Cataloging
Documentation" page at 
http://www.oclc.org/support/documentation/worldcat/
<http://www.oclc.org/support/documentation/worldcat/> .

Finally, a reminder that I cannot make often enough. This Enhance
discussion list is also an appropriate forum for many of the topics
raised in the sharing session, to ask questions either of OCLC or of
other Enhance participants. The University of Washington has been kind
enough to create and host this list but it does not get used nearly
enough. Please take advantage of this list and the information sharing
opportunities it affords. If you are reading this message, you have most
likely already subscribed to the Enhance list, but if you have
colleagues who have not subscribed but wish to, please refer them to the
sign-up page on the University of Washington Web site at 
https://mailman1.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/enhance
<https://mailman1.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/enhance> .

As always, thank you for all the work you do to uphold the quality
standards of OCLC's WorldCat.
