Part of OCLC's commitment to research and education includes furthering the advancement of librarianship. OCLC does this not only through OCLC research but also by financially supporting awards and scholarships. OCLC is seeking nominations for the following 2010 OCLC-sponsored awards. Deadlines are in bold; the link provides more information about the award and the nominating process.
In response to requests from the cataloging community, OCLC introduced the Expert Community Experiment, which enables cataloging members to make more changes to WorldCat records. The Experiment began in February 2009 and ran for six months, and the increased capabilities introduced as part of the program, remain available to members.
NetLibrary has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by being the first eContent platform to offer academic, public, special and school library users access to more than 200,000 eBook and eAudiobook titles.
“Reaching the 200,000-title mark shows OCLC’s continued commitment to electronic content and is a testament to the depth of our collections,” said Suzanne Kemperman, OCLC Director of Publisher Relations. NetLibrary now offers more than 190,000 eBooks and 12,000 eAudiobooks from more than 500 publishers worldwide.
