Abstract

SUMMARY. In following a practice for developing software now common in the computing industry, OCLC has been developing CORC ‘live,’ allowing its customers, primarily libraries, to act as beta testers. This has allowed testers to provide continuous feedback as they use and interact with system features as they are added. This has also given beta testers, who have been predominantly catalogers, the unique opportunity to experience the latest computing technologies in a cooperative cataloging environment. Two catalogers from a large ARL library give a ‘hands-on’ report from the field, and, in so doing, provide a glimpse of what it is like to catalog Internet resources in CORC.
