Skyriver vs. OCLC

Lots of resources related to the recent lawsuit against OCLC including recent articles, blog postings, procedural court docs. http://bit.ly/cANjSe (from my twitter stream)

"The suit alleges that OCLC, a purported non-profit with a membership of 72,000 libraries worldwide, is unlawfully monopolizing the markets for cataloging services, interlibrary lending, and bibliographic data, and attempting to monopolize the market for integrated library systems, by anticompetitive and exclusionary practices."

You can read OCLC's statement here

..and here is the Library Journal article
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Stay tuned.
