Many libraries are now choosing this option and finding it a great time saver. If you’d like to find out about this the best thing to begin with is to get in touch with Ruth.miller@natlib.govt.nz or Ann.barrie@natlib.govt.nz who will be able to send you the documentation to get started.

You will need to decide how you will add your library’s holdings to the National Union Catalogue. Osmosis is one option; another is sending monthly files of records or ISBNs to Te Puna.

Known as the WorldCat Registry, it is a Web-based directory of libraries and library consortia. You can create and manage your institutional profile, including information about its physical facilities, operations, services and people on a secure web platform. Organizations can then quickly access this information.

Upcoming RSS capabilities will allow people and organizations monitoring your profile to be alerted to changes via RSS-enabled websites, web browsers and newsreaders.
