If your library needs basic copy cataloging and MARC record delivery for up to 7,000 titles per year, CatExpress may be right for you. CatExpress provides web-based copy cataloging, with limited editing capabilities, at a low, flat-fee subscription price. And, when you join the Nebraska Group, you will receive discounted pricing on your CatExpress Subscription.
Even if you have little or no cataloging experience, you’ll be amazed at how simple it is to use OCLC CatExpress with minimal training. And since it’s a Web-based product, there is no special software to install or maintain.
OCLC CatExpress accesses records in WorldCat, the OCLC Online Union Catalog.

You can achieve hit rates of over 98 percent for English-language materials – all through an easy-to-use Web interface. You also may expand your resource sharing capabilities by adding your own holdings information to bibliographic records.
With OCLC CatExpress, you have…
• Full search capabilities in WorldCat
