With PromptCat, new items ordered through participating partners arrive with complete OCLC-MARC records and your holdings are automatically set in WorldCat. PromptCat is a unique timesaver that helps shift your focus from routine copy cataloging to more challenging tasks.
How it works
Participating partners send OCLC electronic lists that identify the books, videos and other materials you've ordered. PromptCat then matches the items to bibliographic records in WorldCat, adds local data to records, sets holdings in WorldCat and provides you with full OCLC-MARC records.
Shelf-ready delivery
PromptCat can even provide customized spine and pocket labels that you or your partner can affix. With your partner's processing, when materials arrive, they can be literally shelf-ready.
You customize the service
While PromptCat is a fully automated service, you determine the features and options best suited to your library, and maintain the same control over the timing, quantities, payment and all other aspects of the purchase process. With just a slight adjustment to your workflow, you can experience significant new efficiencies.
