Worldcat/OCLC

Keio University's libraries are fully integrated into the international shared-cataloging system known as OCLC (Online Computer Library Center) and Worldcat, both names being used interchangeably today for the world's largest bibliographic database.

In 2002, Keio University was the first Japanese university library to formally join the Research Libraries Group (RLG), an international consortium research libraries, archives and museums linked though OCLC. RLG linked more than 140 partner institutions through OCLC, into which it merged in 2006. At the Keio Media Centers, OCLC’s comprehensive global catalog database is fully coordinated and integrated in Worldcat.
