I’m guessing it’s safe to post this now, although I’m still expecting a phone call from lawyers representing OCLC and/or The Library Journal after “accidentally” stumbling on the news before it officially broke :-S
The LJ article (written by Marshall Breeding) isn’t live at the moment, but it the annoucement has appeared on the OCLC home pages:
– OCLC announces strategy to move library management services to Web scale
– Andrew Pace: And now for something completely different

The LJ Article is now live:
– In Challenge to ILS Industry, OCLC Extends WorldCat Local To Launch New Library System
– WorldCat Local: moving into the ILS territory (Library Technology Guides)
I saw your tweet come through yesterday and was suprised (knowing we hadn’t released the news release yet), but no cause for fear of attorneys showing up at your door. 🙂
Sorry about that — if I’d realised LJ had an embargo on the annoucement, I wouldn’t have tweeted! 🙂
