  • Allows libraries to streamline staff operations and realize cost savings through sharing standardized bibliographic and authority records.

  • Increases leverage in negotiations with library vendors and other system service providers. Saves labor and overhead costs by centralizing management of contractual agreements.

  • Adheres to national standards for library automation and digitization to ensure compatibility and transferability of records.
