LC's Sally McCallum on May 24 informed the VBIBFRAME community thus: http://listserv.loc.gov/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind1305&L=bibframe&T=0&P=43920 ================================================================ And this is but one example of the openness of the Bibframe development process of which I am very impressed. We catalogers do have a chance to monitor and influence the development of our future toolset. There are several first rate info sci people working on this but as Mac wrote there seems to be a lack of frontline cataloger input at this point (not absent, just a minority).
