Search and Manage Local Data
New functionality available in Version 1.0 of Bookops-Worldcat allows users to search and manage local bibliographic and holdings data via the Metadata API.
Manage Local Bib Records
Users can manage local bib records in WorldCat in the same way that they manage WorldCat records (see Managing Bibliographic Records for more information). Records can be retrieved in MARCXML or MARC21 formats. The default format for records is MARCXML.
