Who is converting the cards?
After an extensive planning and bidding process, the Newberry signed a contract with Online Computer Library Center, Incorporated (OCLC). OCLC, located in Dublin, Ohio, is a non-profit organization that provides computer-based cataloging, reference, resource sharing, digitization, and preservation services to 43,500 libraries in 86 countries and territories. OCLC was founded in 1967 and has been offering conversion services since 1976. Since that time, OCLC has converted more than 100 million records for more than 1,500 libraries worldwide. OCLC has a team of operators working on the Newberry’s project in Ohio. To learn more about the Newberry and OCLC’s partnership, see OCLC to convert Newberry Library holdings for worldwide sharing.
