OCLC Catalog Card Profile Change
Requests Must Be in Writing

By Jan Campau

Do you want to add a new holding library to your OCLC Catalog Card profile? Or change the text of an automatic stamp? Is it time to stop receiving catalog cards all together? Are you unsure of how to go about making a change?

These and all other profile change requests must be made in writing, either by letter or e-mail, to Jan Campau at BCR. A fee of $110 is assessed for each profile change, no matter how large or small the change (excluding institution name and address changes, which are made for no charge).

Profile changes generally take approximately four weeks for OCLC to complete; requests may be rushed, but only on a case-by-case basis. Profile changes are always installed on a Monday; they do not occur midweek. Before beginning a profile change request, you may find it advantageous to obtain (at no charge) from BCR a copy of your institution's most current (and complete) catalog card profile.

If you have any questions regarding profile changes please contact Campau at BCR.
