Database Ownership and Copyright Issues Among Automated Library Networks: An Analysis and Case Study (Book Review) 1994-07-01 2 .pdf application/pdf 1328 63 53 The application of these principles to a con- flict situation, such as that involving centralized versus regional networks, is supposed to result in a formulation of cooperative, rather than competing, re- lationships. What emerges from the analysis, however, are a few basic and understandable conclu- sions: (1) that a centralized structure such as OCLC can be most effective in dealing with subordinate organizations, such as regional networks, if it attains a decentralized structure of authority; (2) that competitive forces should be openly acknowledged and reduced to levels that will not destroy networking goals; (3) that good communications are of ut- most importance; and (4) that policy for- mulations and role definitions should be clearly expressed and communicated. cache/crl-14908.pdf txt/crl-14908.txt
