Her real passion is cataloging with the annual CONSER Open Access Journal Project, which provides high-quality cataloging of the previous year’s Directory of Open Access Journals (<a href="https://doaj.org/" title="DOAJ" target="_blank">DOAJ</a>) title additions.<br /> </p> <p>The WorldCat<sup>®</sup> updates available through WorldShare<sup>®</sup> <a href="https://www.oclc.org/en/worldshare-collection-manager.html" title="WorldShare Collection Manager">Collection Manager</a> allow Becky to keep up and share work with other libraries globally through WorldCat. "We couldn’t do it without the Collection Manager reports and updated records," Becky said. "It's very much a cooperative project, and it reflects the cooperative cataloging spirit that we all need and depend on. I'm hoping that other libraries share by replacing the current copy of the WorldCat records so that we’re all better off."</p> </div> <div class="highlightbox section">  <div class="hbox quote"> <div class="highlightbox parsys"><div class="text parbase section"> <p>"The updated records through WorldCat updates have the wonderful effect of making it appear like 9,000 other catalogers are working just for you on the records to which you have attached your holdings."</p> </div> </div> </div>  </div> <div class="text parbase section"> <p>"Vendor records are appreciated, but only as a base. They are not meant as the end-all and the be-all in our catalog," Becky said. So she enhances records on a graduated basis as more information becomes available. "With serial vendor records, I focus on merging duplicate records and adding ISSN information to the newly selected base record," she explained. "These partially enhanced records are then distributed to the ten UC campus libraries. As part of this process, I am also replacing the current copy of the WorldCat record.” That way, other libraries that have holdings on the same title get the benefit of Becky’s work in their own catalog. "I then count on other libraries to supply the remaining valuable information, such as subject analysis. And their enhancements are funneled directly into the replacement of my record," she added.</p> <p>Becky continued, "Vendor records are good starting points, but they generally don't have subject headings." Without WorldCat, catalogers at the ten individual campus libraries would have to add this information themselves. "This is where the updated records, WorldCat updates, come in. As the records become fully fleshed out, we will ingest them into our system." she said. Thanks to this service, 88% of SCP serials (and 77% of monographs) include at least one subject heading. </p> <p>"Journals change," Becky said. "They change numbering systems. They change scope. Open-access journals change URLs all the time. A dead journal can resurrect." WorldCat updates allow libraries to keep up with these changes through the cooperative power of WorldCat. Last year, 78% of SCP’s record updates (out of 76,347 updates) came from WorldCat updates. "Most libraries depend upon vendor loads just the way they are," she added. "I'm always trying to figure out ways to make it better for everybody, not just me. My advice for other libraries is to take advantage of Collection Manager's WorldCat updates. That's a big deal."</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="parsys_column cq-colctrl-lt2-r-c1"> <div class="col1 parsys"><div class="text parbase section"> <div class="member-products-used"> <h3>Services
