OCLC announcement 6/19: WorldCat Entities URIs now automatically added to WorldCat records for newly controlled headings
New daily process automatically inserts the relevant $1 URI link or updates the existing link in $1 (if needed), thus keeping records current and enriched with the latest WorldCat Entities URIs.
The enriched data is included in WorldCat records exported using OCLC cataloging applications (like Connexion)
Libraries can also receive enriched records by enabling the WorldCat Updates feature “Receive updates when $1 is modified” in WorldShare Collection Manager.
>> is UTL seeing these URIs come through Connexion exports to Alma?
>> should UTL enable WorldCat Updates feature in WorldShare Collection Manager?
