Resumen en inglés original
Lehigh University Libraries has developed a new tool for querying WorldCat using the WorldCat Search API. The tool is a Google Sheet Add-on and is available now via the Google Sheets Add-ons menu under the name “MatchMarc.” The add-on is easily customizable, with no knowledge of coding needed. The tool will return a single “best” OCLC record number, and its bibliographic information for a given ISBN or LCCN, allowing the user to set up and define “best.” Because all of the information, the input, the criteria, and the results exist in the Google Sheets environment, efficient workflows can be developed from this flexible starting point. This article will discuss the development of the add-on, how it works, and future plans for development.
