Get ready to catalog some ebooks because the next set of MARC records is here! The next subset of 758 OCLC MARC records for netLibrary holdings is ready. OCLC will automatically set holdings for libraries that order through Amigos. What are the advantages of setting holdings? In terms of the practical, with holdings set in OCLC, users and librarians doing a WorldCat search can identify the ebooks they own and can go right to them -- just as they can in their OPACs. Beyond the practical,libraries may find that setting ebook holdings on OCLC positions them to participate in a broad OCLC initiative for the future. (See http://www.oclc.org/strategy/). OCLC plans to build a public presence on the web for libraries in general and from this presence, coming back to the services provided by specific libraries. Libraries would be better prepared to meet this future by having their electronic holdings reflected in the OCLC cooperative, just as they have included their physical holdings.
