George Marck's term on the state-wide MeLCat
policies and procedures committee ends this year.
Corinne Thompson, from Siena Heights University, will
continue to serve on the committee. George has the following updates on
MeLCat:
Server
Upgrades and Downtime:
In early December MeLCat has been scheduled to move to new servers.
This will be a lengthy process and will take services down
for up
to 10 days. Please make plans accordingly for announcing this
interruption in service at your library.
Major Influx
of A/V Materials Anticipated for MeLCat:
Michigan State University has received a rather large donation of
approximately one million DVDs. The University has decided to
keep this collection and intends to make the titles available for
requesting via the MeLCat system. If your library does not
yet
participate in MeLCat A/V resource sharing now is the time to consider
adding this service for your patrons. Please contact
the DALNET office for more information.

Orphan
Works and Mass Digitization : A Report of the Register of Copyrights /
U.S. Copyright Office
"The Copyright Office is reviewing the
problem of orphan works
under U.S. copyright law in continuation of its previous work on the
subject and to advise Congress on possible next steps for the United
States. The Office has long shared the concern with many in the
copyright community that the uncertainty surrounding the ownership
status of orphan works does not serve the objectives of the copyright
system."
