Attached is a report on the Enhance Sharing Session that took place at the American Library Association Annual Conference in Washington, D.C., on Friday, 2010 June 25.  Special thanks to my OCLC colleague Linda Gabel for her diligent note-taking.  Also attached is the text of the “News From OCLC” handout that was distributed at the session.  The “OCLC Policy Statement on RDA Cataloging in WorldCat for the U.S. Testing Period,” a second handout at the Enhance Session, is available online at http://www.oclc.org/us/en/rda/policy.htm.
