Brodart New OCLC Cataloging Partner
OCLC has added Brodart Company to its list of WorldCat Cataloging Partners. Brodart is a popular multi-service vendor that has been working with libraries for more than 65 years. Brodart's Books & Automation Division stocks its warehouse with more than 2 million books and offers libraries and schools access to titles from over 80,000 publishers, including 5 million English-language titles and Spanish-language books, plus audio and video products. Brodart's staff of library professionals designs, maintains and consults with libraries in their selection processes and workflow throughout the world.
The WorldCat Cataloging Partners program is a new, enhanced service that merges the existing OCLC Cataloging Partners program with the OCLC PromptCat service. The service delivers OCLC MARC records at the same time that materials arrive from participating partners and sets a library’s holdings automatically in WorldCat. It is a collaborative effort with materials vendors to reduce the cost of cataloging for libraries.
