Non-profit global library cooperative OCLC has announced a partnership with academic publisher Taylor & Francis to create and deliver high-quality catalogue records representing important scholarly works to libraries.
As an OCLC cataloguing partner, Taylor & Francis will provide published works for OCLC's team of professional cataloguers to create high-quality records to be added to WorldCat and delivered to libraries.
OCLC will create 7,000 full-level MARC records annually and deliver records through WorldShare Collection Manager to Taylor & Francis global library customers. In addition, OCLC will automatically maintain WorldCat holdings for Taylor & Francis customers with an OCLC Cataloguing and Metadata Subscription.
Taylor & Francis has partnered with OCLC for years by providing metadata to help libraries represent their collections more completely and efficiently for discovery of materials. The new agreement expands the partnership to include the creation and delivery of MARC records.
Books are published under the Taylor & Francis, Routledge, Garland Science and CRC Press imprints. Libraries can check the Taylor & Francis page on the OCLC website for status updates and instructions for use.
