GPO Adds OCLC Holdings Symbol for Regional Depository Libraries
Beginning February 1, 2005, the OCLC holdings symbol of 30 Regional
depository libraries will be added to the bibliographic records GPO
contributes to OCLC WorldCat. Working with GPO, OCLC has developed an
automated batch loading process to set the holdings, which will be run
daily.
This project will bring improved public and library community
awareness of resources available in Federal depository library
collections through an increased number of bibliographic access points
and facilitated interlibrary loan of tangible U.S. Government
publications.
Adding OCLC symbols to GPO-produced cataloging originated as a
suggestion from Regional depository librarians. GPO would like to
thank the depository libraries at the following institutions for
