Make your content more visible and increase your reach in libraries. If you have databases, eBooks, journals, archives, digitized items—any kind of published work—that you want to get in front of information seekers, OCLC can help. 
Providers of local library systems can work with OCLC to test compatibility and to stay up-to-date on developments concerning export of MARC records and new export methods for OCLC cataloging records. 
Tap into the 325 million page views that have come from partner sites since WorldCat.org launched. You'll gain traffic and demonstrate support for your local library by linking to WorldCat records for books and other materials that you describe, sell or reference on your site or online service. 
Contribute metadata about your titles to WorldCat long before they're released, enhance your fulfillment services with WorldCat records and preset holdings, and help customers streamline their acquisitions. —Josh Presnell, mobile app creator
