Online Computer Library Center

From the Paper:

"The purpose of this research is to examine automated library cataloging, commonly referred to as the system of the Online Computer Library Center (sometimes wrongly referred to as Ohio Computer Library Center), or OCLC, which originated in the 1960s with research done at the University of Connecticut, and which seeks to standardize automated cataloging services for libraries (Zeidner, 1976; Calabrese & Acker, 1987). The plan of the research will be to set forth the principal features of OCLC, including the origins and need for the system, the use of and accessibility to automated catalogues, and current trends in automated cataloging. As appropriate, there will also be discussion of advantages and disadvantages of OCLC, methods and ranges of OCLC searching, and differences between that system and commercial bibliographic databases."
