Highly recommended read - make sure to take a minute and file through @mjgiarlo's thread (linked below 👇🏽) for a #code4lib member perspective on the recent court case of OCLC v. Anna's Archive ...

And we couldn't agree more, this is just such a waste of energy, time, and resources - and to what end? To antagonise / alienate OCLC's customer base even more?

This is exactly why we are working hard to establish an equitable, fully open alternative to #OAbooks metadata creation and dissemination - with all metadata records released under a #CC0 public domain dedication (as they should!) #MARC #ONIX #KBART #MetadataMatters #DataReuse #Right2Remix
