<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just to add, Innovative Interfaces (now a part of ProQuest, which is now owned by Clarivate) has had their own shared bibliographic repository for many years, currently called SkyRiver:
<a href="https://www.iii.com/products/skyriver/">Library Database Management | Library Metadata Management | iii.com</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Metadoor could be a repackaging of SkyRiver for ProQuest customers, or is somehow related.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I believe SkyRiver is an separately licensed III offering. So Metadoor could be a gateway drug into additional pay-to-use metadata.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I also get the impression from the flyer that the product is in competition with OCLC WorldCat.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Looking at the Consent form, it does operate on a slightly different model than WorldCat.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Instead of having a central database where records are stored, it functions more like the old Z39.50 tools where you could search for a record in another library's ILS and download a copy into your own system,
and vice versa.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">It looks like it only works for Alma customers at this point. OCLC WorldCat is ILS-neutral.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">There's also a potential catch for participating libraries who are also OCLC members-- while we have the right to do what we like with bibliographic records created by our own individual institutions (especially
since the CTC libraries are all state agencies and the individual records we create probably count as public domain works), we may not have the right to share bibliographic records we got from WorldCat that were created by *other* libraries.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">See <i>WorldCat Rights and Responsibilities for the OCLC Cooperative</i> policy:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Out of the roughly 5000 volumes we purchase every year, only 2-3 have original catalog records that we create ourselves.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Trying to identify which records in our Alma system are eligible for sharing sounds to me like a lot of work for not much direct benefit at this point it time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
