 Custom Cataloging
OCLC® and Books on Tape are now working together to provide cost-effective, custom cataloging services to libraries. Our partnership affords libraries the opportunity to order standard or customized OCLC MARC records at minimal cost to libraries. OCLC and Books on Tape guarantee a full record for each title on the B-O-T active list. OCLC edits each record to match your local cataloging practice, just as if you're own technical services staff cataloged them. You will receive your MARC records from OCLC edited to your specifications when Books on Tape fills your order.

Our partnership with OCLC means cost-sharing as we work together to reduce your costs for cataloging and physical processing.

Using this service will save time, money and—with Books on Tape's simultaneous release—will put your materials into circulation sooner.

 Why OCLC?       How do I get started?
  • You will only receive high-quality OCLC-MARC records created or upgraded by expert OCLC staff.
  • No minimal-level records—ever! Only full OCLC-MARC records are delivered.
  • Custom editing options can replicate library's local practice.
  • Holdings are set in WorldCat at no additional charge.

Once OCLC receives your request they will ensure that your library is set up to receive cataloging. From then on, each order placed with Books on Tape will include catalog records—edited to library specifications—at the time of fulfillment.
