A study exam ining the co sts, b e n e fits, and 
methods of linking the existing bibliographic net­
works has been commissioned by the Council on 
Library Resources (CLR) as part o f its five-year, 
$6-million program to promote the creation of a 
national bibliographic system. The study will be 
conducted by Batelle-C olum bus Laboratories, an 
Ohio research institute.

T he new study will investigate the impact of 
linking bibliographic utilities on libraries, library 
users, brokers of bibliographic services, and the 
utilities themselves. It will focus on the potential 
co sts and b e n e fits o f linkage in th e  areas of 
cooperative cataloging, interlibrary loan, and on­
line reference searching.

T he six-month study will also analyze the alter­
native methods of linking networks and will de­
velop a model for creating a nationwide network.

D a ta  for th e  study w ill b e  a c q u ire d  from 
O C L C , the Research Libraries Information Net­
work (R L IN , the network arm of the Research 
Libraries Group), the Washington Library N et­
work (W LN), and the Library of Congress.

T h e study rep resen ts a step forward in the 
Council on Library Resources’ Bibliographic Se r­
vice Development Program. The premise of this 
program is that national networking should be 
based on orderly national planning and coordina­
tion rather than on ad hoc arrangements. It re­
mains to be seen how central planning will fit in 
with the competitive situation that now exists in 
the network field. ■■
