Contract Cataloging for Publishers

OCLC’s Contract Cataloging for Publishers provides you with the MARC records libraries have come to expect with their materials orders. Accurate MARC records have become increasingly important with the surge in demand for e-resources, such as eBooks and eAudiobooks.

WorldCat Registry

Libraries can send a link via e-mail that gives vendors read-only access to their complete profile. Vendors can load this link into the customer service tracking system so staff have ready access to complete information, including IP address that can help in troubleshoot problems without a call to the institution. Only authorized Registry users can share the profile information with vendors.

All other web services from WorldCat Registry are also available via Affliate Program.
