Next-Gen Cataloging

Print/Share This Post Email This Post Published by rwatstein March 29th, 2008 in OCLC and cataloging. 0 Comments

When Frederick G. Kilgour founded OCLC in 1967, he saw libraries across the U.S. doing the same, repetitive tasks in cataloging—rooms full of typists entering the same information on catalog cards. The OCLC online union catalog (now called WorldCat) and shared cataloging system dramatically reduced these inefficiencies by making it unnecessary for more than one library to originally catalog an item. Records in the online union catalog could be shared and used by others to produce catalog cards. When Frederick G.
