Abstract: Searches of the OCLC data base revealed that 65% of a Canadian special library's recent acquisitions had already been cataloged. This “find rate” compares favorably with statistics available from similar libraries in the United States, and suggests that technical information centers and special libraries throughout North America could benefit considerably from OCLC participation.
