 Note: Providers can send OCLC files on your behalf to dynamically maintain knowledge base collections. Likewise, they can send us your electronic invoice so you get MARC records for cataloging partner collections. OCLC and your provider will arrange a method to send OCLC files via SFTP or another method.
