Thanks for the kind words–I may not be a librarian, but I am a big fan of library science. And I do want to see the latest tools for supporting information seeking (some of which I’m helping to build!) become more affordable and thus ubiquitous for libraries.

I find that, as a cataloger (or "metadata specialist", in fancy language), I straddle both worlds. Thanks for Kelley's info. Great blog, by the way. I'm going to send it to all of my technology-forward librarian buddies. Dammit Jim, I’m a technologist, not a librarian!

But what entity is going to create and maintain these records? Will they be freely accessible, and will everyone be able to contribute to them? As LC moves further away from the authorities business, I worry that work-level records, which seem to be a huge part of the FRBR model, will fall to a subscription-based entity (like OCLC). Will this become yet another tool that smaller libraries cannot afford?
