Standards and documentation
What standard should my data adhere to?

Data transfer for OLIB includes as standard:
- Monografie
- Serie monografiche
- Serials data
- Electronic resources - managed through WorldShare Collection Manager/WorldCat Knowledge Base which means that separate item records will no longer be required to represent your e-resources
- Item “Copies” data
OCLC use three standard documents:
