Overview

Data synchronization is an automated process that compares records from your local catalog against records in WorldCat and manages holdings on those matching records. These holdings may be at the institution-level, such as your OCLC symbol, or at the local-level, such as local holdings records (LHRs). This process also facilitates adding new records to WorldCat.

You can send your bibliographic data or LHR, such as author, title, or date, using the Non-MARC patterned data template.
