We have extra copies of the OCLC Annual Report 2006/2007.
It is actually more interesting than you might think -- it includes stats on things like the number of records by format, further distinguished by LC or member input; or the date ranges of records; as well as the more standard year-in-review type information.
Some "did you knows":
- WorldCat includes 9,975 records for items "published" before 1 B.C.
- Only 53% of the records in WorldCat are for items published in English
- 31.6% of OCLC Governing Members are College and University libraries, 22% are Public libraries, while K-12 schools make up 8.7%, and Community College & Vocation schools are 7.8%
If you'd like a copy of the report, please e-mail Carlos Portillo at porti002@umn.edu and we'll send you one, or you can view the pdf file at:
