Creating an APLIC Union Catalog Using LibraryCom Lisa Sanders CSDE Library University of Washington
Goals of this Presentation • Advocate for a web-based union catalog for APLIC members’ libraries and information centers • Demo a product (LibraryCom) that allows us to create a union catalog for free • Show you how to use this same product to automate your holdings and circulation
Why should APLIC have a union catalog? • Improves access to our collections • Facilitates inter-library loan • Allows for resource sharing and specialization • Creates opportunities for collaboration
Paper vs. Web-based • Existing paper-based catalog • Time-consuming to maintain • Constantly out of date • Limited access • Creating web-based catalog • Automatically created from our holdings • Always as current as our holdings • Levels of access
