(Sarah Giersch reporting for Ron Vetter (iLumina))
The WorldCat OCLC Survey focused on making resources more discoverable by transferring MARC records to OCLC. Individual DLs can get money for submitting resources to OCLC. The question was raised: Is interest in attending a workshop on how to crosswalk records to MARC and then transfer to OCLC.

9. Additional Discussions for EIESC
Mimi Recker noted that it would be productive to revisit what this group is about and see where people's energies are. Liz Liddy followed up by saying that she liked the 4 questions (at start but as we went on, it seemed that the only thing that mattered was impact - is that still the most important thing?
The original 4 Questions posed by EIESC were:
- How are people using NSDL?
- How are NSDL collections growing?
- How are distributed library building and governance processes working?
- What processes are needed to answer these 3 questions?
To continuing this discussion about the focus and priorities of EIESC, please send your comments to the EIESC list [eduimpact-members@comm.nsdl.org]. We will also be in touch in late August to set a time for a Fall teleconference call leading up to the EIESC meeting at the NSDL Annual Meeting in November.
