Title

Towards finding more catalog copy : the possibility of using OCLC and the Internet to supplement RLIN searching

Source

Cataloging and classification quarterly. 16(1993) no.1, S.71-83

Year

1993

Abstract

A sample of 50 items in French and Italian from the Cornell University arrearage, all lacking catalog copy in the RLIN database, was searched on OCLC and in six OPACs available on the Internet: Harvard University, Indiana University, MELVYL, the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Chicago, and the University of Toronto. Although catalog copy was found on OCLC for 34% of these items, searching the individual OPACs on the Internet yielded hit rates of only 2%-10%. Furthermore, the six OPACs all together provided catalog copy for only 2 of the items that did not turn up on either RLIN or OCLC.
