  17. Local Group WorldCat Growth – Synchronization with Libraries, Repositories & Metadata Hubs Global

  18. Growing WorldCat Faster • New Data Ingest Platform under Services Oriented Architecture

  19. Create system-wide efficiencies in library management Using Publisher Data to Grow WorldCat Establish partnerships with publishers Ingest publisher and vendor metadata in ONIX Enhance publisher metadata Enrich WorldCat with publisher metadata Output enhanced ONIX data to publishers/other partners http://www.oclc.org/partnerships/material/nexgen/nextgencataloging.htm

  22. Local Group WorldCat Growth – Syndication Global

  23. Create system-wide efficiencies in library management OCLC and Google to exchange data, link digitized books to WorldCat • Synchronizes WorldCat with digital collections of interest to the membership • Participating organizations provide OCLC with a regular feed of metadata • WorldCat is automatically updated with new MARC records as materials become available • Reciprocal linking between WorldCat and the host site • Automatic

  24. Create system-wide efficiencies in library management OCLC Syndicates WorldCat Data with Google Books

  25. Local Group WorldCat Quality – Improving the Quality of the Database Global

  26. Quality Control Activities

  27. Reducing Duplicates – An Improved Algorithm • First production run, May 18, 2009 • Running small files (500 – 3000) • Statistics for May & June 2009 • 33,023 records processed • 1,777 duplicates removed (5.7%) • 846 records deferred for manual review

  28. Reducing Duplicates – An Improved Algorithm • Full production run, Feb. 2, 2010 • Entire Database, beginning with OCN #1 • Statistics so far: • 7.5 Million records processed • Almost 650,000 records removed • Unique fields from deletes merged into the master record • The exception to this is non-Latin fields.  We try to ensure that all non-Latin fields are in the retained record even if they are not on the list of mergeable fields.

  29. Expert Community Experiment • Experiment to test “social cataloging” with OCLC’s expert community (modeled on Wikipedia) • Interest and motivation from WorldCat Local libraries that want to use WorldCat Local as their “database of record”

  30. Total Replaces = 108, 766

  31. What are they saying? • “I am loving the ability to fix typos, add more subject headings, etc. Some of which were things I would do locally but were too much of a hassle to fix at the oclc level.” • “Thank you so much for the opportunity to participate in the community enhancement experiment! Having the ability to correct typos, flesh out minimal…cataloging…is really wonderful. I hope the experiment works out well … -- I would love to see it made a permanent feature”

  32. WorldCat is much more than a warehouse of records • Continuous improvement of WorldCat records by members: • Enhance • Record enrichments • Expert Community Experiment • Error reporting • OCLC’s quality management role: • WorldCat Quality group • Automated record enrichment • FRBRization • Duplicate detection and resolution • Support for Program for Cooperative Cataloging – NACO, CONSER, BIBCO, etc. • Ongoing conformance to library standards A partnership of members and OCLC

  33. Local Group WorldCat Services Selection, Collection Analysis & Dewey.info Global

  34. WorldCat Selection partners

  35. Interdisciplinary Studies Analyses The interdisciplinary studies enhancement helps libraries: Define their own unique interdisciplinary studies area Easily navigate through the OCLC Conspectus identify titles in multiple subject areas Compare interdisciplinary studies collection against peer libraries identify overlaps and gaps Limit an analysis by Category and/or Subject in addition to Division Save Subject Profiles and have them available for use in the future Demo: http://vidego.multicastmedia.com/player.php?p=u3t34bs7

  36. Dewey.info

  37. Local Group WorldCat Registry – Enabling Services Global

  46. Cataloging: Key to All OCLC Services
