It just sounds like that to my ears (and, perhaps, as part of the gapped generation that she refers to).I think we have a lot to learn through the history of the process from 20 years ago, but I haven't seen that talked about much. Perhaps because many of the principles have retired? It would probably be instructive to compare and contrast the needs and process of today with that from the mid 1980s. Is anyone doing that?

This very issue was heavily contested when the current record use guidelines were developed over 20 years ago and left a bad taste in some people's mouths about OCLC to this day.I am glad to see the Review Board recommend the withdrawal of the proposed policy, however. As to whether what comes after is satisfying, we'll have to wait and see, I guess. The generation-gap argument, if that is what Jennifer alludes to, does not entirely hold up.
