Does anyone happen to have a copy, off-air or otherwise, of the 1950 version of the film King Solomon's Mines (Deborah Kerr and Stewart Granger) that I could borrow for a couple of days? I would be very grateful.

Subject: Criteria for book withdrawals
Hi all,
(apologies for cross-posting)
Don't shout too loud, but we are planning a book weed over the summer. I'd be interested to know of everyone's criteria for withdrawing a book. Do you only look at when it was last checked out, or do you have a more sophisticated method? We're a health and medicine library so I'm particularly interested in criteria for STEM subjects.
We have a large collection of pre-1970 books which have yet to be added to our OPAC. If anyone has any suggestions and criteria for weeding items only listed in a card catalogue, i'd love to hear those too.
To my knowledge, we've never actually done a systematic book weed at LSHTM so i'm expecting to potentially release a lot of shelf space.
I'd be happy to summarise for the list if there's interest.
Thanks,
Jane

Subject: WorldCat Rights and Responsibilities for the OCLC Cooperative - Draft for Community Review
This communication is being forwarded to you on behalf of the OCLC EMEA Regional Council; please feel free to circulate within your library network

RE: Next-generation policy for WorldCat records-open for community review
DATE: April 7, 2010
The OCLC Record Use Policy Council members have been working for the past few months to develop the next generation of a WorldCat use policy, and we are pleased to announce that the draft document, WorldCat Rights and Responsibilities for the OCLC Cooperative <http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/catalog/policy/default.htm> , is open for community review.
This Council, convened by the OCLC Board of Trustees last September, has produced a new draft document that incorporates many suggestions raised by the community over the past year. For example, rather than using legal language, we have drafted the new policy as a code of good practices, intended to outline the rights and responsibilities of OCLC members with regard to the use of WorldCat records.
We intend for this document to help inform the decision-making process for member library leaders as they seek to innovate around the shared resource that is WorldCat. We have sought to encourage the widespread use of WorldCat data while also supporting the viability and utility of WorldCat and the OCLC network of services.
The draft policy is not final. Between now and the end of May, we very much want your feedback. We hope you will take the time to review the draft policy carefully, and let us know your thoughts. You can post comments to the community forum <http://community.oclc.org/recorduse> , send an e-mail with your thoughts to [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> , or register to attend a webinar <http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/catalog/policy/council/default.htm> where you can ask questions and submit feedback to members of the Record Use Policy Council. We will continue to add content to the accompanying FAQ <http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/catalog/policy/questions/default.htm> as we get more questions from the community review process.
We plan to send a revised version of the draft policy to the OCLC Board of Trustees at the end of May for final review and approval. We anticipate that a final document will be published mid-calendar year 2010.
Many thanks are due to all the members and librarians who commented over the past year and whose feedback helped us formulate this new document. We would especially like to thank the members of the Record Use Policy Council:
* ChewLeng Beh, Global Council Delegate and Chair, OCLC Asia Pacific Regional Council; and Senior Director, Singapore National Library Board, Singapore
* Raymond Bérard, Global Council Delegate and Director, ABES, France
* Karen Calhoun, Vice President, OCLC WorldCat and Metadata Services, OCLC, USA
