MEMORANDUM
To: Subject Specialists
From: Mark Watson
Subject: OCLC Internet Cataloging Project
The UO is an enrolled participant in OCLC's project to build a catalog of materials available via the Internet. This project, funded by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Library Programs, runs through March 31, 1996. As OCLC's project summary states, this is an effort to initiate "a nationwide, coordinated effort among libraries and institutions of higher education to create, implement, test, and evaluate a searchable database of USMARC format bibliographic records, complete with electronic location and access information (USMARC field 856), for Internet-accessible materials." As a project participant, the UO has indicated its willingness to identify, select, and catalog Internet resources and contribute those machine-readable records to OCLC. So far, two bibliographic records have been created and input into the OCLC database (see below). They do not, as yet, appear in Janus.
A number of very useful Web sites related to the Project have been developed. All of these sites are linked to the Project Home Page, but the URLs are provided below to give you a sense of what is available.

This site provides access to selected bibliographic records for Internet resources that have been cataloged on OCLC. Many of these records have been created as part of the OCLC Internet Cataloging Project. OCLC records can be accessed by title, by OCLC number, by date entered in OCLC, and by date added to this site. These listings provide project participants and other catalogers a way to easily review examples of OCLC records for internet resources.

Any message sent to the INTERCAT listserv is automatically archived at this site. Current Month messages are moved at the end of each month to their own heading. Administrative messages (e.g., requests to be removed from the listserv) are deleted at the end of the month.
This searchable database contains bibliographic records for Internet resources that have been selected and cataloged by libraries worldwide. Each descriptive record provides Internet access information, and you can access many resources just by clicking the underlined portion of the "Electronic Access" field.
