Re: Variation on a theme (of uselessness)

Gordon and all (see, no et al.!)

While I cannot answer your question regarding the LCCN, I do have a comment on the first part of your
question. I visited the meeting of the CIP advisory group at ALA in Washington last week and discovered
that there is a movement afoot, to try to remove the publishers of CIP statements like that, from being able
to get CIP from LC at all. I don't know whether anything will come of it, but I'd love to be a fly on the wall at
the discussions
