We've recently imported 5,148,400 new records from the Library of Congress into OverCat, bringing OverCat's total to nearly 78 million records!

This is OverCat's first major Library of Congress update since it debuted in 2010.

I appreciate both the additional titles but as importantly that each is a MARC record. I'm not familiar with all the details, but the broader point I support is that OverCat isn't merely adding new titles, but titles with a robust and consistent dataset.

>4 elenchus: Bingo! That's one of the foundational principles of OverCat—not just sheer numbers, but quality of records, too.
