Course description

In this recorded course, you will learn how to determine whether an existing WorldCat® record matches the item you are ordering, and if not, how to create a brief (Encoding Level 3) record in WorldCat. This course would be useful for staff that is responsible for ordering in WorldShare Acquisitions.
