OCLC and Casalini Libri, a leading international library service provider based in Italy, have signed an agreement to expand their partnership to provide libraries with high quality bibliographic records that improve library users' access to authoritative content.
Under terms of the expanded agreement, Casalini Libri will provide bibliographic records for titles from over 4,000 publishers in Europe, in Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Greek languages, in addition to Italian. By supplying this data to OCLC, member libraries save time in processing the print and electronic content represented by those records, and can quickly make that content available to their users and researchers.
OCLC and Casalini Libri have been working together for 23 years. Under the new agreement, OCLC will be adding 12,000 Core Level records annually to WorldCat. In addition, 40,000 brief records, which are new title announcements and e-book records, will also be added annually.
OCLC works with publishers and other content providers from around the world to add metadata for high-quality books, e-books, journals, databases and other materials that will make content discoverable through libraries. By providing metadata and other descriptive content, these partnerships help libraries represent their electronic and physical collections more completely and efficiently.
