OCLC Western introduces a new series of online Local Holdings workshops

OCLC Western is pleased to introduce our new series of Local Holdings workshops. This series consists of four online workshops that walk participants through reasons to add Local Holdings Records (LHRs) to WorldCat, principles and standards for creating high-quality LHRs, and step-by-step techniques using real-world scenarios to create LHRs. The online format is interactive, convenient and affordable.

From exploring the current standards for electronic holdings records (Z39.71 and MARC Holdings) to creating records in OCLC's WorldCat and selecting the best bibliographic records, our Local Holdings courses are a progressive, holistic approach to mastering the creation, interaction and maintenance of your library's local holdings.

OCLC Western also offers this series through customized, in-person training. For more information regarding custom training options, locations and pricing, please contact OCLC Western at 1-800-854-5753.
