Supporting Discovery of CRL Resources

Supporting Discovery of CRL Resources

CRL makes 1.4 million records available through its catalog, in OCLC’s Worldcat, but getting the records in front of patrons can still be a challenge. CRL offers opportunities and strategies to maximize resource exposure for your patrons.

Web Discovery Systems

CRL records are also available in WorldCat and the major web scale discovery services.  To make CRL records available through a discovery service, libraries must subscribe to the CRL database. To enable a direct link from the web discovery systems, in order to view a CRL eResource or to request CRL physical items via a local ILL form, libraries must also adjust local configurations.
