A Relationship Between CORC and the PCC: Rationale and Possibilities

SUMMARY. The author examines the common purposes of the Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) and the Cooperative Online Resource Catalog (CORC) and offers opinions on the potential relationship and interaction that could exist between them. The future of cooperative cataloging and potential improvements to efficiency are explored. Reflections on the differing natures of the MARC and Dublin Core standards and the interrelationship between them are offered. Finally, CORC-inspired ideas are presented on the leadership role the PCC can offer in the areas of standards, automation, and training.
