OCLC

OCLC is a national bibliographic utility based in Ohio. We use OCLC to search for cataloging and authority records to import into NOTIS and we also do our original cataloging and authority work in OCLC. This page will teach you how to login to OCLC, how to search the OCLC database for records, how to save and edit records, how to export records, and how to create new records in OCLC.
