PrompCat is designed to work with copy cataloging to reduce staff time for searching and editing time in handling titles. OCLC Authority Control Services enables libraries to add and correct authority records in conjunction with the TechPro Service. OCLC offers other services in the cataloging area ranging from conversion of records to preparation of online databases. The OCLC products are marketed by the U. S Regional Networks. Several of the networks offer cataloging services.
Physical processing is also available.
Cataloging and processing is done based on the library's needs with a contract developed for each project. Retrospective cataloging projects can be done along with other cataloging projects or in phases as funding is available. Trained library professionals perform original cataloging with expertise in various types of libraries. All cataloging is done using the OCLC database. Cataloging is offered for incoming acquisitions, backlog, copy cataloging only or retrospective conversion.
