Report of The Library of Congress Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control

Report of The Library of Congress Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control, January 9, 2008.

  • “The future of bibliographic control will be collaborative, decentralized, international in scope, and Web-based. Its realization will occur in cooperation with the private sector, and with the active collaboration of library users. Data will be gathered from multiple sources; change will happen quickly; and bibliographic control will be dynamic, not static. The underlying technology that makes this future possible and necessary—the World Wide Web—is now almost two decades old. Libraries must continue the transition to this future without delay in order to retain their significance as information providers.”
