Discover how your library can optimize cataloging and enhance your library’s workflows with WorldCat and OCLC tools. Whether you’re new to OCLC cataloging or taking a fresh look, this recorded webinar can help you as we explored why WorldCat is an essential resource for public libraries and how OCLC works behind the scenes to maintain its records.

You’ll learn about the benefits of a Cataloging subscription, including access to tools like Connexion, Record Manager, Collection Manager, and APIs. Our expert presenter guided you through different cataloging workflows, including:

• Connecting your ILS to Connexion or Record Manager
• Moving records to your ILS without a direct connection
• Setting up Cataloging Partners to accelerate workflows

We also provided an overview of data sync services to synchronize your catalog to WorldCat and shared tips for setting them up to save your staff time and effort.

Whether you’re looking to streamline your cataloging processes or simply learn more about OCLC’s tools, this recording is designed to help public libraries work smarter, not harder.
