When you add a holding to the National Union Catalogue, you can indicate whether it is available for loan.
Just add the words of your choice (usually “not available for interloan”) to the Holdings Note Field on the ‘Add Holdings Record’ page.

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.

The National Library is collaborating with American based company The Marc of Quality to test the performance of OSMOSIS in the New Zealand environment.
Seven libraries are taking part in the pilot project in 2008 and 2009, including one public library, the National Library, four universities, and one consortium. On completion of the pilot, OSMOSIS will be evaluated and considered for widespread implementation in New Zealand.
The National Library hopes using OSMOSIS will improve the batch update process of library holdings to the National Union Catalogue, ensuring the Catalogue is constantly up to date. This quality of information will flow on to OCLC’s WorldCat an international database containing the collections of libraries around the world.
