OCLC is introducing the Italian Discovery Catalog, a comprehensive bibliographic catalog of Italian library collections rich with history and culture. This new catalog offers access to Italian-language resources and materials across participating libraries, all within a unified, user-friendly discovery experience.
The Italian Discovery Catalog currently provides more than 16 million records representing 31 million items held by Italian libraries, and it continues to grow. The catalog features filtering options to quickly locate all types of electronic resources, including open access content, as well as print works.
"Launch of the Italian Discovery Catalog demonstrates OCLC's continued commitment to broadening access to the world's information at local, national, and international levels," said Eric van Lubeek, OCLC EMEA Managing Director. "By delivering a native Italian discovery experience that anchors Italian culture in a globally connected discovery environment, we're enabling these Italian libraries to reach more users while maintaining the local relevance of each library's collections."
