| Batch Processing |
Batch Processing allows
libraries to automate the tasks of adding, updating, or cancelling
the library's holding in WorldCat. Automating this process saves the
library time, effort, and some of the cost of manually maintaining
OCLC holdings. Batch Processing also offers libraries the opportunity
to create a one-time project to synchronize their OCLC holdings with
their local catalog, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of processing
interlibrary loan transactions.
In addition, OCLC Batch Processing can deliver batches of OCLC records
to the library to be loaded into the library's local system. OCLC
uses standard search keys provided by a vendor to automate the cataloging
process, avoiding the manual process of searching, adding holdings,
and exporting records.
Additional Batch Processing services include Local
Database Creation, which delivers a set of records representing
your holdings in OCLC, and OCLC
LHR Updating Service which automates the creation and maintenance
of OCLC local data records by loading holdings data from the library's
local holdings records.

Processing Web page. |
| Reports: |
OCLC provides reports of each batchload,
delivered on the OCLC Product
Services Web page. Records that OCLC is unable to load by the
batchload process can also be delivered to the library for manual
processing.
