On a related note, here is what OCLC has been up to: http://libraryjournal.reviewsnews.com/index.asp?layout=articleId=CA289190&display=searchResults&text=digital+library In case I misstyped the url you can find it by going to the library journal website and typing in "digital libraries" in the search box. The article is by Roy Tennant and is titled: Not Your Mother's Union Catalog.
There is a lot going on in the free software for libraries world, where do/should we fit in the grand scheme of things? Are people signed up on the oss4lib mailing list? Do we look at www.usrlib.info, www.oss4lib.org, and such sites often enough? Should we develop list (on the wiki) of sties and mailing lists of interest?
It sounds like a good idea, I at least, find it difficult to navigate through all the library specific "Freedom Software" (I've latched onto that term) sites.
