For those of you that are familiar with the DLF/OCLC
Registry of Digital Masters, after discussions with Rachel Frick, we are reviewing the status
of the Registry: how it has been implemented and its future.
Is there need to aggregate this kind of collection and/or
metadata; is it still useful for discovery of preservation digital
materials; is there value in continuing the Registry; is it the right venue to
provide this information; does it fit into institutional workflows? Please
send any comments or questions to me at the address below or to the list.
Currently, there are 3.9 million bibliographic records in
the Registry. If you are interested in searching the Registry, it's
available at http://purl.oclc.org/DLF/collections/reg/OCLCservice,
or for more information, see http://www.diglib.org/collections/reg/reg.htm
for general information and http://www.diglib.org/collections/reg/DigRegGuide200705.htm
for the current Registry guidelines.
