Individual reports are then presented for the following: 17 OCLC projects; 6 external and collaborative research projects; and 7 library and information science research grant program projects. Abstracts of seven presentations in the distinguished seminar series are also provided. The report concludes with descriptions of research programs sponsored by OCLC, i.e., the visiting scholar program, postdoctoral fellowships, and research assistants program; biographical sketches of OCLC staff; an annotated listing of some other OCLC publications; and a prepaid reader survey card.
