Dear all
It may be of interest to members of this list that JISC has produced a guide to open bibliographic data to enable academic librarians to explore why some libraries are experimenting with releasing bibliographic data under an open licence and what are the practical issues involved in taking this open approach. http://obd.jisc.ac.uk/
The guide was written by David Kay, Paul Miller and Owen Stephens and is explained in more detail at: http://infteam.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2010/11/15/what-does-open-bibliographic-metadata-mean-for-academic-libraries/
Thanks
Andy
