Want people to know more about your library?
Start with these steps
A small time commitment ensures that your library and collections are presented accurately and that more information seekers connect with libraries online.
Extend the reach and influence of your collections
Update your library information in the WorldCat® registry.
The WorldCat registry links people from WorldCat.org to your catalog. And a current address enables your location to display in the WorldCat.org interface. Manage library catalog links and information like your institution’s address, email, and phone number in the WorldCat registry area of OCLC Service Configuration.
Open your library to the world
Update your WorldCat holdings.
Accurate holdings in WorldCat and registration of your electronic collections in the WorldCat knowledge base ensure that people can find and access your library’s resources. Request a streamlined holdings update process—a free, limited time offer with any OCLC cataloging subscription—and learn about using automated holdings feeds to maintain holdings for your e-resources collections.
Transform more lives, one search at a time
Update your WorldCat.org library profile.
WorldCat.org now includes more features to help engage with the communities you serve. Ensure your profile is up to date and, while you're logged in, migrate existing lists to the new site and create lists to highlight what's special about your collections.
Join the “know more” challenge
Complete the updates mentioned above and your library could be featured by OCLC.
