Abstract

The article discusses the role of OCLC PICA in the European information landscape. The cooperative wishes to position itself as a professional body among other individuals and organisations in the library profession. Based an 30 years of experience in two separate organisations OCLC and PICA have merged their European activities in order to better focus an Europe. The European library landscape is probably one of the most sophisticated as well as the most complicated in the world. The main part of the article discusses the creation of a pan-European service PiCarta in which an index is made available to different local and regional union catalogues and their services. It also touches the area of cooperative virtual reference services.
