Update: The 5C Record Merge Working Group strives to ensure that all can attend by providing a virtual option to our open houses and meetings. In light of recent institutions’ restrictions and COVID-19, this Friday’s open house will have the option to attend virtually via a Zoom scheduled meeting. We expect attendance numbers well below 50 and the in person meeting is still scheduled as this falls within Smith’s restriction of how many can meet in person for an event. Of course, please use your best judgement. Our documents can be viewed online which includes the presentation for this Friday. Lastly, to facilitate feedback and communication, we encourage you to send us your comments.
The Record Merge Working Group invites you to an open house on March 13, 2020. The purpose of this open house is to update the 5C community on the working group’s activities and present decisions made thus far by the working group for comment and review by the community. This open house is open to everyone. We encourage everyone to join us in particular those who have a stake in our future shared bibliographic environment. And there will be snacks.
