WorldCat Link Manager is open, interoperable link-server software that OCLC provides as a fully supported, hosted service. When your library users click a journal citation in your catalog or in your electronic databases, they are taken directly to the full content of the article in your collection. WorldCat Link Manager is an OpenURL linking and listing service that allows users to link from an article citation in WorldCat to the full-text version of the article. WorldCat Link Manager "puts it all together" for libraries that don’t need the hassles of running their own link-server operation.

OCLC New Jersey is a development center within OCLC with a continuing mission: to help researchers, scholars, libraries, merchants and publishers link their information together. We build software, systems and services that link people to information more efficiently.

The foundation of the University of California libraries digital preservation program, the Digital Preservation Repository (DPR) serves the stewardship mission of the UC libraries by providing a single shared solution for the preservation, management, and controlled dissemination of digital collections that support research, teaching, and learning. The repository provides a set of self-service interfaces that the libraries use to deposit and manage digital objects, relieving individual libraries of the burden of creating and maintaining custom digital repositories. The services and storage are based at the California Digital Library (CDL).

The goal of the project To collate in one place basic bibliographical data for any kind of mathematical digital article and make them accessible to the users through simple search or medata retrieval.

Libraries do something they call "name authority control". For most people in IT, this would be called "assigning unique identifiers to names." Identifying authors is considered one of the essential aspects of library cataloging, and it isn't done in any other bibliographic environment, as far as I know.

VIAF: The Virtual International Authority File VIAF is a joint project of the Library of Congress (LC), the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek (DNB), the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF), and OCLC. The project's goal is to match and link the library authority files. The search box at the top of this page searches a prototype of VIAF, which is derived from the personal name authority and related bibliographic data of LC, DNB, and BnF. Matches are shown as links between records (in MARC-21 998 fields). More information can be found at the OCLC Research VIAF Project page.

The second worldwide review of the Functional Requirements for Authority Data was completed in mid-2007. The Working Group is completing work in a new draft which incorporates comments received during the review. When complete, the draft will be submitted to Division IV for approval. In the meantime, the draft used in the second worldwide review remains available. Readers of the document should be aware that there will be many changes in the final version.
