WorldCat Cataloging Partners
WorldCat Cataloging Partners is a collaborative effort with materials vendors to reduce the cost of cataloging for libraries. WorldCat Cataloging Partners will deliver OCLC MARC records that match the materials you order through participating vendor partners and set your library’s holdings automatically in WorldCat. WorldCat Cataloging Partners is a new service that merges PromptCat and the Cataloging Partners Program. If your materials vendor is transitioning from PromptCat to WorldCat Cataloging Partners, view this presentation for instructions on receiving records for your new materials. Three levels of serviceBasicThe basic level of service provides automated copy cataloging. WorldCat Cataloging Partners delivers records that already exist in WorldCat, based on information from your materials vendors about the titles you’ve purchased. The basic service is included in your library’s OCLC cataloging subscription price. This level of service includes any automated functionality that was previously available through PromptCat, such as adding barcodes and acquisitions data (invoice number, invoice date, price, etc.) to records. It also includes an electronic label file of spine and pocket labels that can be delivered to you or your materials vendor for shelf-ready materials. 100% record deliveryThe 100% record delivery option offers a guarantee of a record for every title with an LC or Dewey call number and at least one subject heading for all non-fiction titles. This option requires an additional fee, based on your library’s OCLC cataloging subscription. Purchase it once, and the 100% record delivery option can be used with all of your vendors that offer the service. Customized record deliveryThe customized record delivery option provides 100% record delivery and offers additional customized local editing performed by catalogers. This option also requires an additional fee, based on your library’s OCLC cataloging subscription.
