WELCOME TO THE PROJECT!

In January 2009, The Library of Congress retained R2 Consulting, LLC of Contoocook, N.H., to research and describe the current marketplace for cataloging records in the MARC format, with primary focus on the economics of current practices, including existing incentives and barriers to both contribution and availability.

LC released the R2 Study on October 30, 2009.
