During the transition from the original OAIster harvesting process to using the Gateway, there will be a period of time where duplicate records will show up for users searching WorldCat.org and OAIster. This will provide continuity of access for users during the transition. As each metadata contributor completes transitioning their harvesting workflow to the Gateway, OCLC will remove the duplicates.
