I am pleased to announce Cooperation on a Grand Scale: OCLC WorldCat in Tennessee, a Tenn-Share sponsored session at the Tennessee Library Association Conference. In this session, Tennessee librarians from Academic, Public, and School libraries will share their experiences with WorldCat.org and the future directions of cooperative efforts to provide more access to our collections and to share physical materials. Representatives from OCLC and SOLINET will be present to answer questions, and we will discuss pricing for the Tenn-Share WorldCat renewal.

Cooperation on a Grand Scale will be held on Thursday, April 9th from 12:00-1:30. This is a no-conflict time except for exhibits. OCLC is graciously sponsoring a limited number of lunches for session attendees. To register for a lunch, please e-mail me at databases@tenn-share.org soon.
