– Following an install in April, WorldCat Resource Sharing is happy to announce the redesigned two-per-page printing .PDF layout. A group of twenty librarians and nine network representatives worked closely with OCLC and helped them determine that left justifying all the information except the patron information would allow for easy reading and consistency of style between the one and two per-page.
– On April 1, a record for the 1950s publication from the U.S. Fisheries Laboratory, Miscellaneous Contributions, marked the 100 millionth bibliographic record entered into WorldCat. The record was part of a retrospective conversion project for the University of Washington Libraries. You can “Watch WorldCat Grow” online at http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/grow.htm.
