OCLC Cataloging

OCLC Cataloging Services can make your cataloging operations more productive and cost-effective. OCLC WorldCat^®, OCLC's Online Union Catalog, is the world's premiere bibliographic database with almost 80 million bibliographic (MARC) records representing every type of format from books to videos to DVDs, CDs, serials, electronic resources, and more. OCLC offers cataloging subscription pricing for both high-volume and low-volume catalogers, and offers the easy-to-use web-based OCLCCatExpress^® service especially for smaller libraries. As OCLC and the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS) continue to work in partnership on behalf of OCLC member libraries, we would like to inform you about some important changes with regard to how your library will access support and sales for OCLC products and services. Please be sure to share this news with staff members in your organization who use OCLC services.
