The UK Union Catalogue - any challengers?
Today is a record breaking day
It is with pride that today I can let you all know of several records that have just been broken.
Three records have gone.
1) We have processed our 100 millionth record in Talis Source.
2) This year we have processed more than 50 million records, this is more than the combined totals of the whole of the records processed in 2004 and 2005.
3) The Holdings contained within Talis Source that are available to be discovered by our community, for free, have passed the 50 million milestone a 25% increase in the last three months compared to the previous two years and this total is still rising.
For this record breaking day, I would like to thank you all for your contribution.
But it doesn’t end here, We will not rest on out laurels. These are milestones that we have passed as we progress further along our journey as we continue to grow and make available to our community the largest UK Union catalogue of library holdings data ever. Our next milestone and my personal goal is to increase the total number of active contributors to Talis Source, in a year, to the largest figure it has been since records began. We only need a further four contributors to break this milestone. So this is a call to action for all the libraries that haven't contributed yet to come forwards and let me help you with your contribution.
