CLR STUDY ON LINKING BIBLIOGRAPHIC UTILITIES

A study examining the costs, benefits, and methods of linking the existing bibliographic networks has been commissioned by the Council on Library Resources (CLR) as part of its five-year, $6-million program to promote the creation of a national bibliographic system. The study will be conducted by Batelle-Columbus Laboratories, an Ohio research institute.

The new study will investigate the impact of linking bibliographic utilities on libraries, library users, brokers of bibliographic services, and the utilities themselves. It will focus on the potential costs and benefits of linkage in the areas of cooperative cataloging, interlibrary loan, and online reference searching.

The six-month study will also analyze the alternative methods of linking networks and will develop a model for creating a nationwide network.

Data for the study will be acquired from OCLC, the Research Libraries Information Network (RLIN, the network arm of the Research Libraries Group), the Washington Library Network (WLN), and the Library of Congress.

The study represents a step forward in the Council on Library Resources’ Bibliographic Service Development Program. The premise of this program is that national networking should be based on orderly national planning and coordination rather than on ad hoc arrangements. It remains to be seen how central planning will fit in with the competitive situation that now exists in the network field. ■■
