Abstract
Abstract This article outlines a highly collaborative effort among the Biblioteca Nacional de Cuba José Martí (BNJM), the University of Florida's George A. Smathers Libraries, and OCLC to open the Cuban national library's collections to researchers around the world. WorldCat now lists over 134,000 catalog records with BNJM's holdings attached. Many of these records required the creation of original MARC records based on images from scanned catalog cards. An overview of the project is followed by a discussion of the cataloging-related processes involved, and a brief analysis of the ongoing work. This effort has opened previously unknown collections to researchers outside of Cuba, and will have a major impact on Cuba-related research well into the future.
本文概述了古巴国家图书馆(BNJM)、佛罗里达大学George a . Smathers图书馆和OCLC之间的高度合作，旨在向世界各地的研究人员开放古巴国家图书馆的馆藏。WorldCat现在列出了超过134,000个目录记录，并附上了BNJM的馆藏。其中许多记录需要根据扫描目录卡的图像创建原始MARC记录。在项目概述之后，讨论了所涉及的编目相关过程，并简要分析了正在进行的工作。这一努力向古巴以外的研究人员开放了以前不为人知的藏品，并将对未来与古巴有关的研究产生重大影响。
