Nicole Arbuckle (VP Metadata Services) and Karen Anderson (Authorities Librarian) presented their findings on different methods to make library books more discoverable through exploiting the metadata. If you have other thoughts or ideas as to what else you wished publishers knew about, we welcome those ideas in the event that we do another webcast for publishers in the future.

Backstage - OCLC MARC Format Update - Conflicts?
by Nate Cothran 17 Oct '14

http://oclc.org/support/services/worldcat/documentation/tb/264.en.html We have a prospective client that is considering the base file processing but is unsure whether the OCLC MARC Format Update conflicts with any of our processing. Unfortunately, we are not aware of clients that also may be using OCLC's format update service, so we wanted to reach out to all of you to see if you are using the service and if there are any conflicts we should be aware of. We appreciate any feedback you may have to share with either the listserv or off-list about this.
