Introduction

Use this chapter as an introduction or review of the features and functions of the OCLC WorldCat Cataloging Partners service.

1.1 Introduction to WorldCat Cataloging Partners

WorldCat Cataloging Partners

WorldCat Cataloging Partners (WCP) is a collaborative effort with materials vendors to reduce the cost of cataloging for libraries. WorldCat Cataloging Partners delivers OCLC-MARC records that match the materials you order through participating vendor partners and sets your library's holdings automatically in WorldCat.

Three levels of service

• Basic. The basic level of service provides automated copy cataloging. WCP delivers records that already exist in WorldCat, based on information from your materials vendors about the titles you've purchased. The basic service is included in your library's OCLC cataloging subscription price.

  This level of service includes any automated functionality that was previously available through PromptCat, such as adding barcodes and acquisitions data (invoice number, invoice date, price, etc.) to records. It also includes an electronic label file of spine and pocket labels that can be delivered to you or your materials vendor for shelf-ready materials.

• 100 percent record delivery. The 100 percent record delivery option offers a record for every title with a Library of Congress or Dewey Decimal Classification call number and at least one subject heading for all non-fiction titles. This option requires an additional fee, based on your library's OCLC cataloging activity.
• Customized record delivery. The customized record delivery option provides 100 percent record delivery and offers additional customized local editing performed by catalogers. This option also requires an additional fee, based on your library's OCLC cataloging activity.

Pricing

WorldCat Cataloging Partners basic service is available as part of your OCLC Cataloging Subscription or CatExpress Subscription. A custom [delete?] quote for the 100 percent option is available through the Online Service Center, or by contacting your OCLC regional service provider or your OCLC sales representative. A custom quote for Customized Record Delivery is available from your OCLC regional service provider or your OCLC sales representative.

Timing of set holdings

Holdings can be set in WorldCat as records are processed or after a delay of 1-180 days. You may use the delay to allow selectors time to evaluate items sent on approval or to allow materials to circulate among your patrons before ILL requests are received.

Labels for shelf-ready items

WorldCat Cataloging Partners can provide customized spine and pocket labels that vendors affix to items so that the items come to you shelf-ready. WCP can also provide spine and pocket label records that you print and affix. Labels are provided at no extra cost.

Shared local catalog options

Since WorldCat Cataloging Partners has access to the OCLC WorldCat holdings of all libraries in a shared local catalog, it can provide one record for the catalog while setting holdings for individual libraries.

Item check in

The WCP Cataloging Report lists all titles (and other data) that are processed in a vendor manifest and describes the outcome of the processing. You match the items you receive (using the vendor's invoice or packing list) with the titles on the report.

Data retrieval methods

WorldCat Cataloging Partners provides bibliographic records for your local system or shared local catalog via one or a combination of the following methods. The method or methods you use depend on local needs.

Method	Availability
OCLC Electronic Data Exchange (EDX) account	Via the Internet using an EDX account
OCLC Product Services Web	Via the Internet
Catalog cards	Card sets via mail

Current approval plans and firm orders

With minor adjustments, you can use current approval plans. Some libraries use WCP implementation planning as an opportunity to examine current plans. Your current firm-order methods can remain the same. WCP works well with vendor electronic ordering systems.

Institution records

WorldCat Cataloging Partners uses master records and adds local information for your library. Institution records of other institutions are not available through WorldCat Cataloging Partners.

1.2 WCP and Other OCLC Products and Services

Introduction

Use WorldCat Cataloging Partners in conjunction with other OCLC products to enhance your cataloging efficiency. For more information, see the OCLC Web site at < http://www.oclc.org/catalogingpartners/default.htm >

OCLC Bibliographic Record Notification

This service supplies upgraded and updated records automatically. Use it with WCP so that you can accept less-than-full-level records. Complete records are provided automatically when they become available. For details, see the Bibliographic Record Notification Web site at < http://www.oclc.org/bibnote/default.htm >.

OCLC Contract Cataloging

Another option for receiving 100 percent of your cataloging, at a lower cost than you might expect, is Contract Cataloging. Use it to catalog titles you purchase from vendors that do not participate in WorldCat Cataloging Partners, for a growing backlog, or for a gift collection. OCLC Contract Cataloging staff share your commitment to quality and attention to detail. For details, see the Contract Cataloging Web site at < http://www.oclc.org/contractcataloging/default.htm >.

OCLC Connexion

You can retrieve your records via EDX or the Product Services Web site and import them into OCLC Connexion to edit, perform authority work, or create labels. You can also import the label file into the OCLC Connexion client to edit and print labels.

OCLC Label Program

You or your vendor can use the OCLC Label Program to edit and print WorldCat Cataloging Partners label files. For details, see http://www.oclc.org/support/documentation/label/default.htm.

WorldCat Selection

This service allows selectors of new materials at your library to view notification records from multiple vendors in one central comprehensive system. With WorldCat Selection, you can easily get WorldCat records for newly purchased materials into your integrated library system earlier in the technical services process. Use WorldCat Cataloging Partners to provide updated cataloging records as materials are delivered to your institution or to set holdings in WorldCat once a purchase has been made.

CIP Upgrade Program

OCLC, in cooperation with WCP vendors, upgrades Cataloging in Publication (CIP) records in WorldCat so that WCP delivers more full-level records to you.

The CIP Upgrade Program updates CIP records in WorldCat as quickly as possible. There are two main components.

• In the CIP Upgrade Unit, OCLC catalogers work in cooperation with Blackwell's Book Services to identify new titles with CIP cataloging and upgrade the cataloging as soon as the books are available.
• Material vendors upgrade their CIP records and send them to OCLC to upgrade the WorldCat records.

Vendor Record Contribution Program

OCLC pursues relationships with vendors of library materials and bibliographic records for the contribution of bibliographic records to WorldCat. In particular, OCLC strives to enrich WorldCat with records for materials published outside the U.S. and for audiovisual and electronic materials. Consequently, these records are available to WCP libraries.

1.4 Shared Local Catalog Options

Introduction

This section describes the options available to libraries that are members of a shared local catalog and that want to be treated as members of a shared local catalog.

Shared local catalog

Shared local catalogs are local systems that are shared by more than one institution with separate OCLC symbols. One OCLC symbol with separate holdings library codes, used in the 049 field, is not considered a shared local catalog. If you are named as a member of a shared local catalog by another library, then you must also be profiled as a member of the shared local catalog group.

Profile as a member of a group

To profile as a member of a group, fill out the shared local catalog section of the order form. Use the same name for the shared local catalog that other WCP libraries in your shared local catalog have used. If you have questions, contact your regional service provider.

Benefit of using shared local catalog options

The primary benefit of using the shared local catalog option is that you will receive only one record for your shared local system, with holdings set for your institution on the WorldCat record.

Shared local catalog options

The following options are available to libraries that are members of a shared local catalog:

• You can choose to not receive records if holdings are already set for any institution in your shared local catalog. You can also choose to receive a Partnering Data Record (PDR) with or without the OCLC control number or local holdings information.
• Even if your institution chooses not to receive bib records (because another partner library already has holdings set or because your holdings were previously set) you can choose to receive spine and pocket labels.

Ordering shared local catalog options

Each library in a shared local catalog must fill out a separate order form. The form to use is the PromptCat form: https://www3.oclc.org/app/promptcat_order/

1.5 Record Selection

Automated processing

The following is a summary of how WCP processes data for the basic service:

	Action
1	OCLC and vendors establish record format standards, technical requirements, and processing schedules.
2	The vendor sends WCP a vendor manifest that contains bibliographic data about the titles ordered.
3	WCP uses ISBN, UPC, or Publisher Number (from the 028 field) from the vendor's bibliographic data to determine the matching WorldCat records. Potential matches are validated by comparing the record format. If more than one WorldCat record with different cataloging sources is matched, WCP records all matches. If there are no matches, WCP uses OCLC's Duplication Detection and Resolution (DDR) program to try to find a match.
4	WCP creates the Vendor Inventory Database (VID) that links the Vendor control number and the OCLC control number of the WorldCat record. The cataloging source of the matching record is also recorded. Future manifests check the VID before matching to see if a match was made in the past.
5	The vendor sends items to the library. WCP retrieves the matching WorldCat record. If more than one record was matched, WCP follows a hierarchy of sources to determine which record to deliver. For most libraries, including those new to WCP, records with a source of DLC are chosen first. If there are no matches, WCP reports the Vendor control number and title on your Cataloging Report and creates a Partnering Data Record (PDR), if you are so profiled.
6	WCP compares the WorldCat record with your selection rules and checks whether your holdings are already set. The holdings check avoids duplicate records. For libraries in shared local catalogs, WCP also checks holdings set for other members of your shared catalog. If the record does not satisfy your selection rules or holdings are already set, WCP reports the Vendor control number and title on your WCP Cataloging Report and/or creates a PDR (if you are so profiled). Alternatively, you may choose to receive a record even though your holdings (or those of a member of your shared local catalog) are already set in order to get the latest version of the OCLC master record.
7	If the record satisfies your rules, WCP adds data to your records and: Adds the record to the file of records it provides to you Creates a label record (if you are profiled for labels) and adds the record to the file of label records it provides to your vendor or to you Sets holdings immediately or sets after the delay you choose Creates an archive record regardless of your holdings option (immediate or delayed) Adds the requisite information to your WCP Cataloging Report

Record selection rules

For items you receive by approval plan or firm order, WCP retrieves the matching WorldCat record and checks it against the following record selection rules that you define:

• Encoding level
• Cataloging source

Libraries choosing the 100 percent or custom options are automatically set to receive all encoding levels and cataloging sources.

Encoding level rule

WCP determines whether the record meets your Encoding level selection rule based on your choice of Encoding levels in the table below.

Encoding level
All
CIP (8)
FULL (Blank, 1, I, L, 4)
Not FULL (7, 5, 2, K, M)
Other

Cataloging source rule

WCP determines whether the record meets your Cataloging source selection rule based on whether one of the following elements is in Srce (Source), field 040, or field 042 (Authentication code):

Your selection rule	Code in Srce, 040, 042
All	All of the following
LC	040 ‡a contains DLC (either alone or in combination with another symbol. e.g., DGPO/DLC, DLC/ followed by anything else, DLC- followed by anything else or /DLC at the end of subfield ‡a) 040 ‡c contains DLC Cataloging Source (Srce) is c 042 ‡a contains lcderive, lccopycat, lccopycat-nm, lcode, lcnccp, premarc, lcac, lc, lcd, msc, nsdp or nst.
NLM	040 ‡a contains NLM
UKM	040 ‡a contains UKM
Other	All valid codes in Srce 040 or 042 that do not fall under the above definitions of DLC, NLM, or UKM

No record delivered or no record found

In addition to listing titles for which you receive a record, the WCP Cataloging Report also lists items for which no record was delivered and/or no matching WorldCat record was found. The table below gives some common examples of such situations.

Item Listed as	Because
Record found, but not delivered	Item matches a WorldCat record but does not meet your selection rules
Record found, not delivered	Holdings already set
No record found	No WorldCat record matches the item

Report mismatches

If you find a mismatch (a record that does not match the item), use the following procedure:

	Action
1	If the holding on the record is delayed, go to step 4. If the holding is set immediately, log on to OCLC Cataloging and find the mismatched bibliographic record in WorldCat.
2	Delete your holdings using the Delete holdings command.
3	Find the correct record in WorldCat and set your holdings using Update.
4	Report the mismatch to OCLC by filling out the Mismatch/No Match report on the Web: https://www3.oclc.org/app/pcmismatch/.
5	If correcting a record set holdings delay, you must wait until your holdings appear before you can delete holdings. If you are using Connexion client, you can delete your holdings in batch.

Note: The Delete holdings command is a credit.

Partnering data record

WCP can produce a Partnering Data Record (PDR) to carry vendor data when a full record is not delivered or not found. A PDR can also be delivered in place of a record when another institution in your shared local catalog has already received the record. The PDR can include the OCLC number when the record is matched but not delivered.

The PDR contains an 019 field if one is present in the master record. The 019 field allows you to match existing records in your local system that have been merged into other records in WorldCat.

The table below lists the data in the PDR by field.

Field	Data
001 Byte 0-2	pct
001 Bytes 3-10	PDR entry number
019	019 of master record, if any
020	ISBN from vendor manifest
245	Title from vendor manifest
Local fields	All vendor-provided data and notes, as profiled

1.6 Data Added to Records

Introduction

After record selection, data is added to the record. The materials vendor provides the data to WCP on the vendor manifest. WCP supplies other data based on the WCP Order forms. Using WCP Order forms, the following parties define the data to be added to records:

• OCLC has defined many types of data that can be added to your records
• Your materials vendor has defined types of local data that can be sent to WCP to be added to your records
• Your local-system vendor has created load tables that define the types of local data that is needed in your records and where the data should appear
• You decide what data to add to your records

Data in records accepted by local systems

All WCP processed records, regardless of delivery method, contain data that differs from other OCLC-MARC records. Your local system must accept the following data in the following fields:

Data	Contents
001 Byte 0–2	Partnering Data Records only. Contains pct. Identifies that the number following is a Partnering Data Record number.
001 Bytes 3–10	Partnering Data Records only. Contains Partnering Data Record number: a PDR entry number, right justified with leading zeros.
Local fields	You, each materials vendor, and your local system vendor define local fields and the data in them.

Vendor-provided data

WCP defines data elements that vendors can send on manifests in coded form. WCP adds this data to fields of your records based on your WCP profile. The following are types of vendor-provided data that WCP can add to records:

• Invoice data
• Bibliographic data
• Processing data

Limits on vendor-provided data

Consult your vendors to determine what each provides.

User-defined data

You determine what data WCP adds to your records. WCP can:

• Add holding library code
• Copy the call number to a local field
• Add data strings

Notes

Notes are subfields that you would like to have added to records. The most common data string adds a 599 note that indicates the record came from WCP. Another common practice is to use data strings to add codes that are required by your local system. Location codes are also added as data strings.

You define the data strings. You may profile up to four data strings that can contain multiple adjacent subfields.

Other local data

Other local data can be added to your records as needed through the Custom option. Record customization that cannot be completed by the automated processes of the Basic Service can be completed by catalogers for those libraries that have requested the Custom option.

More than 8	First 8 characters (100 or 245)

Dewey workmark

WCP can add a title workmark to your Dewey call number. The first letter of the title in field 245 is added to the call number at the end of the cutter. The workmark will be in the same case (usually upper) as the first letter of the title.

Biography Type codes

The list below contains the Type codes that determine whether an item is coded as a biography.

Type: a, Biog: a, b, or c

or

Type: i, LTxt: a, or b

The list below shows how WCP defines juvenile materials.

• If fixed field Audn contains values a, b, c, d, or j
• If another code appears in field Audn, but field 082 contains [E]
• If any 6xx field has a second indicator 1 or a subfield ‡v containing Juvenile literature

Juvenile prefix for non-fiction

For titles that are non-fiction, and are coded as juvenile, WCP can add a prefix to the call numbers. You can choose the prefix. The most common are j, Juv, and YA.

Juvenile fiction call number text

WCP can provide a juvenile fiction call number instead of a classification number for titles that are ordered as juvenile. For example, a juvenile fiction call number may be: 092 Juv ‡b Wilder. You must supply the text for the 092 ‡a in your profile.

E in place of Juvenile fiction text

If the 082 field in the matched MARC record contains E, WCP can place an E in the 092 field instead of the juvenile fiction text for titles that are coded as Juvenile fiction. For example: 092 E ‡b Avery

1.8 Label Production

Introduction

WCP can create a label record for each item sent by the vendor. WCP posts a file of label records to an EDX account or at the Product Services Web site. You or your vendor retrieve the file of label records and then print and affix labels to items. You can also produce labels locally if you import records into the Connexion client or use the OCLC Label Program.

Label content

You define the label content, which consists of:

• Location
• Call number format
• Arrangement of data for labels

Labels and prefixes

If you are profiled to have a prefix (such as J, YA, or Juv) added to the call number in the record, the prefix will also appear on your spine and pocket labels as Location Text.

Methods of label record file retrieval

WCP makes the label record file available at an EDX account and on the Product Services Web site.

Label printing

Use the Cataloging Label Program (http://www.oclc.org/label/) or Connexion client(http://www.oclc.org/connexion/interface/client) to print labels efficiently. These programs are available from OCLC at no charge. Most commercially available label printing programs can also print WCP labels.

Label format

Label records in the label file can print in the following formats:

Spine Label 6 (sl6). 1 spine label and 2, 6-line pocket labels.

Spine Label B (slb).1 spine label and 1, 4-line pocket label.

Coded generic. Some vendors use a coded generic format to print labels that meet your customized specifications. The Cataloging Label Program and Connexion client do not print coded generic labels.

These labels can be imported into the Cataloging Label Program or Connexion client in these label formats: sl6, slb, sp1 and sp4.

Pocket label title truncation

For Spine Label 6 (sl6) and Spine Label B (slb) pocket labels, the printed line limit for the title is 2 lines of 28-characters each. To ensure this limit and to ensure no blank lines appear on the pocket label, WCP uses the following process to determine where to split the title into 2 lines:

	Action
1	Fills up to 28 spaces available for the first line with the title, including characters and spaces between words.
2	Moves back to the first space it finds and breaks the title.
3	If no space is found, moves back to within 4 characters of the beginning of the title and breaks the title.

Spine label character limit

For Spine Label 6 (sl6) and Spine Label B (slb) formats, each line has a maximum of 8 characters. If, after formatting the call number, a line exceeds 8 characters, WCP places the extra data on the next line.

Label records not created

WCP may provide a bibliographic record, but produce a placeholder label record when:

The bibliographic record has no call number for the 4-character holding library code's defined classification scheme.

The bibliographic record also has an alternative call number, that is, multiple subfields ‡a in field 050, 060, 090, or 096.

Adding vendor-provided or user-defined data makes the call number exceed its printing line limit. The printing line limit for Spine Label 6 (sl6) is 15. The line limit for Spine Label B (slb) is 9.

Match labels to items

WCP places label records into the label file in the same order as the titles appear on vendor manifests. If WCP cannot create a label record, a placeholder label record with the text No Label is created. After printing a file of label records, you or the vendor attach the printed labels.

Multiple labels

You can edit and print multiple copies of labels using the Cataloging Label Program or Connexion client. Some vendors can supply multiple label records as needed.

Vendor labels

Several materials vendors can use the WCP label file to create labels and affix them to materials before sending them to you. If you are interested in this option, contact your materials vendor.

Labels for custom profiles

Libraries with a WCP custom option profile receive labels that are created after the catalogers complete the custom cataloging. These labels can be delivered to the library or to the library's material vendor.
