Each year, libraries use batch processing to set their OCLC holdings on millions of items and to add hundreds of thousands of unique, original records.
Set, update, cancel or add holdings to WorldCat
OCLC batch processing provides a host of offline options for maintaining your OCLC holdings, including local data records (LDRs). It can also add your original records to WorldCat. It's an efficient way for members to maintain holdings as part of their cataloging commitment to the world's largest bibliographic database
Create or update your local catalog
Bibliographic Record Snapshot can consolidate the bibliographic records you've created or edited through OCLC cataloging and batch processing options. LDC then can be used to create your new local catalog, or update and synchronize your current catalog by sending you copies of your OCLC archival records.
Real-world benefits
Whether it's saving time and money or cutting down on unfilled interlibrary loan requests, OCLC batch processing helps libraries and library staff focus on other tasks and on the patrons they serve.
