RE: OCLC's New License for Bibliographic Records

["Kemp, Rebecca" <kempr@uncw.edu>]

In addition (and apologies for asking an elementary question), 
but are bibliographic records considered factual information, the 
kind of information that is not subject to copyright?  In other 
words, say I create a bib record at my institution.  Before I 
submit it to OCLC, do I own the copyright for that bib record, or 
is it in the public domain?
