----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I heard that OCLC is considering changing MARC tags and going to to a hypertext model using SGML. I'm not a cataloguer and I'm not a computer whiz. Can anyone explain this to me in plain language so I can understand the implications for Visual Resources Curators who are confronting the suggestion they should map to MARC or use MARC cataloguing?
