 was very nice to see a number of you at the LA conference. As we were talking, OCLC wants to broaden its bibliographic merging service. We convened with Nathan Putnam that a Hebraica Merging Group will be created. Whoever wants to participate in it will learn
 by using OCLC’s self-paced online materials, after which I will review some of your records. This is not a very long process, once you understand the basics.</span></p>

 bibs is a great contribution to the database (and to everybody’s sanity!), but it is also very rewarding, as it results in clearer searches and richer records.</span></p>
