Ordering
You can order all types of batchload projects using the OCLC Online Service Center (OSC). In the OSC, you choose between two batchload order forms: one for ordering batchload for bibliographic records or a separate one for ordering batchload for local holdings records.
OCLC offers customized subscription pricing for individual institutions and library groups, tailored to your specific needs.
If you are new to OCLC Cataloging or interested in using Batchload services, contact OCLC for more information on the services and how to become an OCLC Member or cataloging library.
Before you order
Highly recommended: Use one of the following pre-order checklists, depending on which type of records you want to batchload, bibliographic records or local holdings records. The checklist mimics the order form to allow you to gather the information you need to complete your order:
- Order Checklist for Bibliographic Batchload
- Order Checklist for LHRUS Batchload (LHRUS = Local Holdings Record Updating service)
When you are ready to order
- Log on or create a new account in the OCLC Online Service Center (OSC).
