2.1.5. Online Copy-Catalogue System (OCS)

The Centre has developed application software called “Online Copy-Catalogue System” (OCS) to
promote co-operative cataloguing and avoid duplication of efforts. The interface called “Online Copy
Catalogue System (OCS)” is a window-based application that facilitates libraries to interact with the
Union Catalogue of Books (IndCat) and catalogue their new acquisitions online. The OCS, on one hand,
facilitates libraries to search and browse bibliographic records of documents available in IndCat and
download selected records directly into SOUL 2.0 or any MARC21 compliant software. The holding

information for the bibliographic record being downloaded from the IndCat gets updated automatically
in the process. On the other hand, the interface facilitates creation of a new record for a document that is
not available in the IndCat. This new record gets saved into local integrated LMS as well as into the
IndCat simultaneously. Besides, online cataloguing and copy cataloguing, the interface also facilitates

bulk uploading and downloading of bibliographic records of books. More details on OCS are available
at: http://indcat.inflibnet.ac.in/includes/UserGuide_OCS.pdf
