PCC members:

I was struck at Midwinter by the number of my cataloging colleagues who
have become what I will call "PCC orphans" by changing jobs, becoming
employed by a library that is not an institutional NACO/BIBCO member. I
think as the years pass the number of such catalogers will grow. It seems
to me we are losing a rich resource by abandoning these experienced PCC
catalogers, many of whom would like to continue contributing. Would it be
possible to establish a category of "independent" or "personal" membership
that would allow those who have been contributors to the program at their
original institution continue to contribute even if their current
institution does not participate?
