Speakers Mindy Pozenel (OCLC), Rebekah Kilzer (OSU), and Kathy Hughes (State Library of Ohio) talked about how local bibliographic data is exposed in the WorldCat.org and WorldCat Local environment. How patrons access all the old and new bibliographic services that WorldCat.org offers and how the role of technical services staff supports discovery and resource sharing.
Beyond the exploration of WorldCat features and exposure to WorldCat Local, topics included:
* importance of having all bibliographic records in WorldCat
* bibliographic reclamation
* importance in the resource sharing context of accurate holdings information & lending policies
* what is essential and non-essential.
