OCLC, the non-profit computer library service and research organisation, is working with Ingram to set and maintain holdings for e-books in WorldCat automatically, saving library staff valuable time and effort.
This new program enables libraries with an OCLC cataloging subscription and an account with MyiLibrary®, Ingram's online e-content platform for libraries, to request integration of their MyiLibrary e-book holdings information with the WorldCat knowledge base. E-book holdings information will then be populated and updated automatically, with no need for manual work by library staff.
Libraries interested in implementing this new program should contact both OCLC customer support (support@oclc.org) and Ingram Customer Support (support@myilibrary.com) to request that holdings for their MyiLibrary titles be set automatically.
