Type in the content of your new page here. I learned about ILL for scholarly articles through NYSL! ill@mail.nysed.gov (518) 474-5383 (you may get voice mail)

my notes, for what they are worth:

Session 4 WorldCat

Vendor = Joyce Rambo

WorldCat consists of recs from participating libraries—OCLC or CatExpress

Must subscribe to First Search if you want your recs in it

When you look to migrate to another system—ask if they are compatible with OCLC—will you be able to search by ISBN?

NYLINK will help you do a sort of retro convert so that it will be included in WorldCat

OCLC has very current new books, lots of AV and arcane recs

OCLC the Microsoft of the library world?

Possibilities of metasearching for our students

Good for ILL

NYS Library – for ILL online very good for journal articles, and sometimes they will email them to you

Back to WorldCat – if you want your recs in there, your cataloging system must be capable of searching by ISBN
