[Genealib] RE: Re: Libraries in Belgium

[Janifer Gatenby]

Dear Colleagues, 
 
In addition to Libdex, the WorldCat Registry is worth consulting for
information about libraries world wide.  

The registry includes over 93,000 records now, mostly describing US
libraries and the services that they provide. It is the main link
between libraries' holdings in WorldCat and local holdings, via OPAC
links and resolver links.  We are working on increasing number of non-US
records.   Most records were created by loading and consolidating data
from various sources at OCLC, and we are cooperating with National
Libraries around the world to load records from their regional
directories.  We are also encouraging libraries to maintain their own
data online and we have an increasing number of registered library
managers doing so.  Please visit the site and check your library's
record, register and change it if necessary or add it if it is not
there.  (Registration is necessary so that you can protect your
library's record from modification by others.)  It is a free service and
no prior association with OCLC is required to participate.
