Reducing Duplicates – An Improved Algorithm First production run, May 18, 2009 Running small files (500 – 3000) Statistics for May & June 2009 ü 33, 023 records processed ü 1, 777 duplicates removed (5. 7%) ü 846 records deferred for manual review

Reducing Duplicates – An Improved Algorithm Full production run, Feb. 2, 2010 Entire Database, beginning with OCN #1 Statistics so far: ü 7. 5 Million records processed ü Almost 650, 000 records removed Unique fields from deletes merged into the master record ü The exception to this is non-Latin fields. We try to ensure that all non-Latin fields are in the retained record even if they are not on the list of mergeable fields.

What are they saying? “I am loving the ability to fix typos, add more subject headings, etc. Some of which were things I would do locally but were too much of a hassle to fix at the oclc level. ” “Thank you so much for the opportunity to participate in the community enhancement experiment! Having the ability to correct typos, flesh out minimal…cataloging…is really wonderful. I hope the experiment works out well … -- I would love to see it made a permanent feature”

World. Cat is much more than a warehouse of records • Continuous improvement of World. Cat records by members: • Enhance • Record enrichments • Expert Community Experiment • Error reporting A partnership of members and OCLC • OCLC’s quality management role: • World. Cat Quality group • Automated record enrichment • FRBRization • Duplicate detection and resolution • Support for Program for Cooperative Cataloging – NACO, CONSER, BIBCO, etc. • Ongoing conformance to library standards
