| THE FUNDACIÓN JUANELO TURRIANO LIBRARY IN WORLDCAT |
| 
| The Fundación Juanelo Turriano Library has recently adhered to the Online Computer Library Center’s (OCLC) Worldcat. It is the first Spanish foundation to list its resources in that collective catalogue. OCLC is the world’s largest library cooperative, whose members produce and maintain Worldcat, an on-line database containing the records of all the member libraries. The enormous advantage for users is that they can find the items available in over 10 000 libraries worldwide in a single search. With this endeavour, the Fundación Juanelo Turriano is on a par, qualitatively speaking, with all the world’s major libraries, having passed the OCLC’s strict international standards. The listing of its records in Worldcat constitutes a qualitative leap in the internationalisation and dissemination of the library’s collection. |
