For those MAPS-L participants who are also members of OCLC, I thought you
might like to see a message that was posted to several lists a couple of
weeks ago.

This message is being cross-posted to several lists.  Please forgive any
duplication.

OCLC is pleased to announce a new web page designed to give users
information on our new cataloging and metadata services migration timeline.
OCLC is currently working on a new, single interface that will offer the
benefits of a web browser and the versatility of Windows-based software.
Most cataloging will be completed using your web browser, while tasks not
fully or efficiently accomplished using a browser will be completed using an
optional Windows-based set of tools.  A visit to this web page at
http://www.oclc.org/strategy/cataloging/, will answer questions such as:

When will OCLC Passport for Cataloging be replaced by a new interface?
When will the new interface to OCLC Cataloging & Metadata Services be ready?
Will macros be supported by the new interface?

There is a guide to migration brochure, frequently asked questions section,
and more information available for you to use.  This page will be updated as
new information is available, so be sure to use the NetMind feature on the
page by entering your email address to receive a notice when updates are
posted.
