Description
Summary:The explosion of online resources has brought with it a host of new metadata schemes and cataloging projects. One of OCLC's most important projects is discussed in CORC: New Tools and Possibilities for Cooperative Electronic Resource Description. This fascinating volume on the pioneering collaborative computer system will help you enhance the value of library services and improve the productivity of librarians and library users. CORC offers a blend of theoretical and practical approaches to broad-based and specialized cataloging problems to help you take advantage of the benefits of the new cooperative cataloging of digital resources. The fourteen chapters in this book tell stories of new ideas, discoveries, and insights gained by being part of the CORC project. The authors represent the perspectives not only of CORC founders, researchers, developers, and observers, but also of library practitioners and managers who are applying CORC to their daily operations.
