摘要

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the achievements of two OCLC projects. One of these, a research project, INTERCAT, contributed significantly to the enhancement of already existing OCLC systems and services by its outcomes. The other, the Cooperative Online Resource Catalog, or CORC, lead to the establishment of what was an entirely new OCLC service. Through the discussion of these two projects I shall draw out what, I believe, are the lessons learned for the co-operative model of the bibliographic utility and the individual library. Particular attention will be paid to the concepts of co-operation inherent in each of these projects. I shall aim to highlight the implications for both the bibliographic control and the collection development practices of libraries with regard to internet resources.
