NLC Records Displayed in WorldCat.org

National Library of China (NLC) submitted automatically converted MARC21 records of all its holdings of monographs to OCLC early this month. Today, I realized that some records (of the year of 2007) have been uploaded to WorldCat.org, such as:

Chinese records for OCLC under final test

Today, I read an article "National Library of China to add its records to OCLC WorldCat" (more information at: http://www.oclc.org/news/releases/20085.htm), in Nextspace, No. 9, published by OCLC. Since the later part of the last year, there have been many discussions about the cooperation between NLC and OCLC. The cooperation was first announced in August 2007 during the WLIC in Durban, and the agreement was signed at the beginning of 2008.

However, we have submitted several batches of test records to OCLC until the end of July. I think the last test file is about to be passed, and we will submit our full records to OCLC in the next couple of months.

OCLC's CEO visited National Library of China

Mr. Jay Jordan, OCLC's CEO, visited National Library of China today in the morning. Dr. ZHAN Furui, Director of National Library of China, and some of his colleagues met with OCLC guests. Among the OCLC guests, Mr. Andrew Wang, vice-president of OCLC, Ms. Shu-En Tsai, Director of Asia-Pacific Services, and some of their colleagues from the OCLC China Office also attended the meeting.

We talked about the CNMARC-MARC21 conversion test files for the uploading of NLC Chinese records in the near future, and our mutual interest in the OCLC membership development.
