Changing Cataloging Systems: Integrating Alma, WorldCat and the Dutch Union Catalog
Event part
Conference
Abstract
In December 2024, the National Library of the Netherlands (KB) took the next step in its implementation of Alma. We transitioned from (a) cataloging physical titles in the Dutch Union Catalog (GGC) while managing physical inventory in Alma to (b) cataloging physical titles and managing physical inventory in Alma. This process involved reviewing and enhancing the existing integrations between Alma, WorldCat, and the GGC. In fact, WorldCat played a crucial role in this transition. Since our Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) is still linked to the GGC, our bibliographic and holdings records must now travel from Alma to the GGC via WorldCat to appear in our OPAC. During this presentation, I will discuss the key challenges and lessons learned during this transition.
