    • Co-chairs of the PCC (Program for Cooperative Cataloging) Task Group on AI and Machine Learning for Cataloging and Metadata will provide key takeaways from their group's final report.


    OCLC's cataloging and metadata experts will:

    • Demonstrate how you can take advantage of recent enhancements to WorldShare Record Manager and WorldShare Collection Manager to improve cataloging workflows at your library.
    • Provide an update on the status of OCLC's BIBFRAME editor tool and share plans for the future.
    • Discuss OCLC's commitment to accessibility, including accessibility metadata in WorldCat records, and preview ways we're updating our cataloging interfaces to support users and meet international standards.
    • Spotlight how WorldCat quality continues to improve with help from our machine learning model.
