In OCLC 1967--1997: Thirty Years of Furthering Access to the
World's Information, you'll see how libraries, librarians, and
librarianship have changed dramatically since the late sixties,
when OCLC was founded as a nonprofit, membership, computer library
service and research organization. You'll also see how far
information professionals have come in their common crusade to
provide access to the ever-expanding body of information worldwide.
OCLC 1967--1997 gives you both a look back and a look forward
across thirty years of continuous technological change as OCLC
grows from an Ohio network of 54 academic libraries to a global
network of 26,000 libraries in 65 countries. Eighteen experienced
authors give you a panoramic overview and specific insight into
OCLC as both a membership organization and a provider of computer
services. You'll see how libraries and librarians have an
institutionalized voice for libraries in OCLC's strategic
directions. And, you'll better understand how the shared commitment
of OCLC members to the ideals of research, scholarship, and
education has created a unique library resource--WorldCat--which
has become the most consulted database in higher education.
Specifically, you'll read about: the changing tasks of cataloging,
from automatic processing of print materials to the new challenges
of electronic metadata the revolution in reference services and
resource sharing OCLC in Asia Pacific, Europe, and Latin America
today's leading-edge electronic libraries--GALILEO and the CIC VEL
research at OCLC the new electronic scholarshipOCLC 1967--1997 is
for library professionals in libraries of all types. It is a
definitive guidebook to today's OCLC and to all those who are
helping their libraries and staffs deal with the challenges and
opportunities of the Information Age.
