Classify and OCLC

Classify is an experimental project set up under the auspices of the non-profit library cooperative known as OCLC (see below). Aimed at providing a user interface and a machine service for assigning classification numbers and subject headings, the database is searchable by many of the standard numbers associated with books, magazines, journals, and music and video recordings. These numbers include:

ISBN (International Standard Book Number) ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) UPC (Universal Product Code). The database is also indexed by OCLC record number, title and/or author and FAST headings.

It also provide a very useful resource for tracing publications by specific authors.

About OCLC

OCLC is a non-profit library cooperative, made up of thousands of member libraries throughout the world. OCLC does not sell books and the actual content is not provided in our database. Libraries add bibliographic records to WorldCat representing books and other items in their collections. The Classify prototype helps librarians apply classification numbers to resources in library collections. Only the metadata/citation is presented in Classify and WorldCat. Your local library may be able to help you gain access to a resource found through Classify and WorldCat.

Founded in 1967 as the Ohio College Library Center, then became the Online Computer Library Center as it expanded. In 2017, the name was formally changed to OCLC, Inc or simply OCLC.
