News from the Library of Congress for harvesters
================================================

1.  ListSets (on our version 2.0 harvester) will now retrieve set
descriptions.  These descriptions use the simple Dublin Core schema and
provide Title, Description, Type, Coverage, and Subject elements.  Where
appropriate, a Relation element links to the home page for the relevant
collection in American Memory.  Feedback is welcome.

2.  Version 1 service to be withdrawn March 1, 2003

Some months ago, we gave notice that we would be withdrawing our version 1
data-provider services within a few months.  If anyone will be
inconvenienced by our dropping these services (1.0 and 1.1) at the end of
February, please let me [caar@loc.gov] know.

If you are still using our version 1 harvester, you are already missing
two sets of records for photographs (Ansel Adams' 1943 photographs of the
Manzanar Relocation Camp; Panoramic Photographs).  

  Coming soon:  More photograph collections; an icon for LC branding
