Dear All LIS Professionals I get updates from OCLC on my mailbox, and the REALM Report is the second in the series on Reopening Archives Library and Museum Services (from Institute of Museum andLibrary Services - IMLS) have collaborated with OCLS and Battelle, conducting continuous survey and studies. Here is the Second Report of REALM with links to get complete text. See what OCLC is doing on this account? Why we are sedate? Why Libraries are becoming visible there? These are the kinds of advocacy attempts from LIS Professionals there. We have not heard any thing from ILA or INFLIBNET in this regard, excepting that we are embellish more and more on ICT arena. I am reproducing the text of the mail I have received.
