I mean you’ve clearly read Aaron Swartz’s diatribes, but you also clearly have no clue about OCLC’s business model. The catalog data is intellectually interesting, but the value is in the holdings data and more importantly the interlibrary loan service it enables.
OCLC is exactly what happens when the libraries want to avoid another EBSCOhost or Proquest situation with ILL.
