WorldCat Collection Analysis: Product Updates (July, 2007)

The following enhancements were added to the WorldCat Collection Analysis user interface during July, 2007.

Government Documents Division Broken-Out

(Completed: July 2007)

All items in our Government Documents division have been broken-out by publishing agency for more granular analysis.

NLM records consolidated

(Completed: July 2007)

All master records in WorldCat with a National Library of Medicine (NLM) call number have been classified using their NLM call number.  This will be especially valuable for institutions accustomed to classifying their collection with NLM.  Now, the sequence of choosing a call number from the master record to use in mapping an item to our Conspectus is:

1.) NLM

2.) LC

3.) Dewey
