RLG and OCLC union catalogs

Lorcan

I am occasionally asked what was the impact on Worldcat of the addition of the RLG Union Catalog.
52M records were processed as part of the load. 41.7M records were matched to existing Worldcat records. There was a net add to Worldcat of 8M records.

Library leaders should be drawn from across the organization. Any idea that technology leaders are overly specialised or too distant from general library work is outmoded and counter-productive.
