Thank you Denise Soufi, Ann Kardos & Julie Moore for moderating and sharing Open Rules for Cataloging #ORC with #ChatOpenS
Yes -- please join in the dialogue! Here is your opportunity to shape the future of #opensource #cataloging #cataloguing #ChatOpenS
More of an ask to join us than a question but Q5: Want to know more? To follow the development of the project, please send a request to groups.google.com/g/openrule….. #ChatOpenS
Q3: Mix AACR, AACR2 and RDA records -- oh, you mean the old fashioned way? I think libraries are making the hybrid world work; #ORC would potentially simplify the mashup by giving examples on how to streamline the competing noise. #ChatOpenS
Q2: about complexity, I believe #ORC will strive to remove unnecessary complexity of description by asking "What are the basic elements needed to identify an object?" #cataloging #ChatOpenS
Q2: The biggest obstacle is always the new-ness of a thing; ORC will require strong preliminary adoption and promotion to encourage adoption #opensource #cataloging #ChatOpenS
(Q1) I love the intention to include examples with the code! Expectations would be: ILS-agnostic application with no financial requirement to access and robust community support #ChatOpenS

The library community needs an openly available practical alternative, with concrete guidelines and models for describing library resources so that catalogers can efficiently accomplish their work. #ChatOpenS
Jennifer Weston, #evgils #kohails and lots of #opensource projects; favorite #cataloging object -- critter cams for wildlife count collaboration #ChatOpenS,
Starting soon!
Can't wait! Join us for #ChatOpenS today from 12-1pm EDT! The Open Rules for Cataloging project is hosting & we're chatting what it means to offer #cataloging an #opensource option. #evgils #kohails #opensource #oss #librarytech #libtech #writethedocs #critcat #cataloguing
Thank you for sharing @james3neal ! Starting vacation at the end of the week and the latest from @legroff is coming with me; this is a great jump start for my week.
