OCLC Shares Its Strategic Vision - Barbara Quint , Info Today

The nation’s leading library services vendor, OCLC, has released a strategic vision report based on a document originally delivered to its Board for internal planning. The 2003 Environmental Scan: Pattern Recognition report reviews global issues affecting the future of libraries, museums, archives, and librarians. In breaking with tradition and releasing a version of its internal strategic thinking to members and the public at large, OCLC hopes to encourage widespread discussions, new ideas, and new action plans across the library community. The report is available in print, as an HTML document, or as seven downloadable PDF documents (http://www.oclc.org/membership/escan/default.htm). Issues covered include funding alternatives, collaboration, digital archiving, e-learning, scholarly publishing, “open source” and “open access” movements, distance learning, digital rights management, Web services, etc.
