Ripple effect

#15 I really like the futuristic outlook of OCLC with the WorldCat and no authentication needed. This is a great benefit for small libraries such as schools and churches. If I understand the information correctly, it sounds as if OCLC will supply ISBN's associated with individual works in WorldCat. The account of the Michigan school that ventured into a more positive service for their district was outstanding. I could see this happening for other rural areas that have low funding in place for libraries. I also see where RSS would be benefitual to the library (couldn't see the need before). This was a great report.
