Dewey Decimal Classification for use with OCLC's online cataloguing services
The Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system, devised by library pioneer Melvil Dewey in the 1870s and owned by OCLC since 1988, provides a dynamic structure for the organisation of library collections. Now in its 22nd edition, and available in print and Web versions, the DDC is the world’s most widely used library classification system.
Automatically add and maintain holdings information on electronic serials
Make your library’s electronic serials collection more visible to users and staff by adding your electronic serials holdings to WorldCat in an efficient and cost-effective way. Increase the value of the investments your library has made in your electronic serials collection, serials management services and in WorldCat.
Transfer or import WorldCat records into a local system
A variety of WorldCat services generate bibliographic records in OCLC-MARC format. OCLC makes copies of these records available for you to import to your local system to keep your local holdings in synch with your holdings in WorldCat. Downloading records on a regular basis makes it easier for your systems staff to manage and upload them into your OPAC.
OCLC record delivery in coordination with your vendor orders
Through a collaborative effort with materials vendors, corresponding OCLC MARC records are delivered with the materials you order through participating vendor partners. Additionally, your library’s holdings are set automatically in WorldCat.
Pre-packaged sets of records for vendor materials, and ongoing record delivery as titles are added
WorldCat Collection Sets save you the trouble of cataloging newly purchased sets of microform, nonmicroform, and electronic content by providing you a matching set of complete MARC bibliographic records ready to load into your local catalog.
