History of the record use policy

In September 2009, the OCLC Board of Trustees convened the Record Use Policy Council to engage the global library community in developing the next generation of the WorldCat record use policy. The intent was to recommend to the OCLC Board a new policy that would be aligned with the present and future information landscape. The new policy, WorldCat Rights and Responsibilities for the OCLC Cooperative, went into effect August 1, 2010 and replaces the Guidelines for Use and Transfer of OCLC Derived Records, developed in 1987. The work of the Record Use Policy Council has now concluded.

WorldCat Rights and Responsibilities for the OCLC Cooperative effective August 1, 2010

Our 12-member Record Use Policy Council undertook a detailed investigation of the issues and drafted a new policy that we introduced for community review in April 2010— WorldCat Rights and Responsibilities for the OCLC Cooperative. More than 275 comments were gathered via e-mail, phone, meetings and letters, in an online forum, and by monitoring blogs, listservs and Twitter. Your comments resulted in substantive additions and changes to the draft. At the end of May 2010, we submitted our revised policy statement to the OCLC Board, which approved the document during its June meeting.
