In preparation, members are asked to please read the "2004 Information Format Trends: Content, Not Containers" report, available at http://www.oclc.org/reports/2004format.htm What should be OCLC's role in e-content, and how should it contribute to OCLC's strategic vision? More specifically, this question seeks to encompass the following two considerations: What specific actions should be taken relative to OCLC's role in e-content to address the needs and interests of OCLC members now and in the next 2-3 years? With a growing number of personalization methodologies and device options such as hand-held computers, wireless telephones, personal digital assistants, and other technological advancements now able to accommodate various types of content, which ones will have a direct impact on the work of libraries and which have an indirect impact on libraries (meaning they may impact patron expectations or behaviors in general but may not be forces to which libraries can respond directly). | Shirley Baker, facilitator
9:30–9:40 | Closing discussion What significant points from these IG discussions do you want to bring to the attention of Members Council and Members Council EC? | Leslie Dillon, recorder
9:40–9:45 | Housekeeping What issues would you like to discuss this coming year in MC DLRIG? |
