Online Computer Library Center Cataloging & Metadata Software

The proposed acquisition is to support NDU’s requirement for the renewal of OCLC software for the use of national and international bibliographic and related records for all known information formats. A subscription to OCLC provides a unique matching software link to various databases and library catalogs. Access to these databases and services is required to provide access for NDU patrons and staff to the library's materials as well as to expanded content, reference, and discovery options. The required supplies are needed for a base period of delivery with anticipated delivery dates as follows:

Base: 05 September 2026 – 04 September 2027 Option I: 05 September 2027 – 04 September 2028 Option II: 05 September 2028 – 04 September 2029 Option III: 05 September 2029 – 04 September 2030 Option IV: 05 September 2030 – 04 September 2031
