Discover guidelines on how to synchronize or update your holdings in WorldCat using a  third-party provider or consortial partner.
  1. Set up a Bibliographic collection, Delete WorldCat holdings collection, or a Non-MARC numeric search key collection.
  2. Once your collection is set up, send your collection ID to your third-party provider or consortial partner/head.
  3. Your third-party provider or consortial partner/head will connect with OCLC for your specific set up.
  4. Your third-party provider or consortial partner/head will let you know when your holdings have been synchronized or updated.

 Note:

  • For bibliographic and delete WorldCat holdings collections, you can submit MARC, MARCXML, and ONIX 3.0 or above files for data sync processing.
  • If you are using multiple third-party providers, please set up a collection for each provider. 
  • Your resulting data sync reports will be available under your own account.
