Answer
Yes. OCLC's Bibchange team can do a batch job to add unique 856 field URLs to specified bibliographic records. To request this, contact bibchange@oclc.org with the following information:
- A 2-column spreadsheet or tab-delimited text file of only the OCLC Number (OCN) followed by the URL to be added in the 856 subfield $u.
- An explanation of any desired cataloging details, such as indicators and if there is a standard $3 or $z. No need to add it to the file with the OCNs and URLs.
