Hmm... planning for future meetings - what resolutions would we (libraryland writ large) want #oclcgc delegates to bring to @oclc ?
#oclcgc reviewing lines of business personas: Management, Metadata, Resource Sharing, & End User
Switched focus from "being in thelibraries business" to "being in the business of [insert commnity] success business" CML LibDir #oclcgc
#oclcgc Members, Delegates, Staff need to engage with students, staff, librarians - introduce and engage to intro OCLC svcs
#oclcgc get them young, the first one is alway sfree, #LibraryServicesPushers
#oclcgc meet LIS students where they are - students will not find OCLC on their own
#oclcgc don't just push stuff at new folks, reach out and ask the new folks what they want to learn about & make connections
#oclcgc outreach and education to next gen librarians needs to be part of the plans and actions at OCLC
#oclcgc OCLC cannot be the org that stands for just the established tech & svcs - enable the future by engaging with & developing new tools
#oclcgc Project name of OCLC infrastructure upgrade is: Project Bedrock (to which I replied "Yabba Dabba Do!")
#oclcgc last OCLC card produced was a new printing of Sleeping Beauty... "In 5 years maybe we'll bring them back... jkjkjk"

#oclcgc Huh, I just learned a regionalism I've never experienced: Say "O" "H" and apparently the response is "I" "O" - works anywhere
#oclcgc library user expectations completely different than previously. Libaries should move into user lives, not wait for user to come in
