Outsourcing: Demonstration

Since 1993, the Technical Services Division has been involved in a multiphase outsourcing program with the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) TECHPRO Unit located in Dublin, Ohio.
Currently there are two ongoing projects for the cataloging and physical processing of the following material:

Yiddish, Hebrew and English-language Judaica material
Backlog of gift donations, foreign languages and other types of more difficult material, such as music scores, that require special cataloging skills for which the staff may not have the time or expertise.

Over 9000 monographs and 700 music scores have been cataloged to date through these projects.

Take a look at the process in action!
