Reclamation Project - Maggie Horn, OLIS

  • See handout in folder
  • OCLC data is used for IDS - libraries should fix their data on OCLC
  • Vendor loads were not added to OCLC
  • Pilot: OLIS does extract, sends to OCLC, OCLC responds
  • Guidelines in development
  • Make sure your catalogers are involved to update OCLC
  • One time reclamation is free
  • WorldCat local or CCCD expedites processing
