Leila Books Now Adding Records to WorldCat

OCLC is pleased to announce that Leila Books is now a participant in OCLC’s Vendor Record Contribution Program. 

Leila Books, located in Cairo, Egypt, was established in 1960 as a bookseller and subscription agent.   They specialize in serving academic and research libraries and scholars for orders from Egypt and the entire Arab world (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Sudan, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman And Yemen).  Firm orders, approval plans according to profile, and standing orders are all supported by Leila Books. 

 When a Leila Books record is added or matched to WorldCat, a 938 field is added to the MARC record that contains the vendor code LEIL.  This code is indexed; vendor records are searchable in Connexion using the vendor index (Vendor (vn:) in the dropdown menu).  Some examples of the records added to WorldCat from Leila Books are OCLC numbers: # 162136760, #162136772.  Examples of records matched are: #79822068, #84893153
