The OCLC Cooperative Online Resource Catalog is helping librarians thrive in the digital age. Librarians are using CORC to
select, describe, maintain, and provide guided access to Web-based electronic resources. Librarians in more than 24 countries
are using CORC and all types of libraries, including public, academic, corporate, school, and government libraries are contributing
records to the CORC catalog. The CORC service offers a Web-based toolset for cataloging electronic resources, a robust database
of high-quality resources, and a tool for building dynamic pathfinders. Developed by and for librarians, CORC blends three
key elements— technology, cooperation and librarianship, to help librarians define the future of knowledge access management.
