Abstract
In the United States, almost two decades ago, the Library of Congress (LC) MARC Project provided the means for sharing bibliographic data in machine-readable form and the impetus for library networking. Following closely the development of MARC, OCLC implemented its system, proving the viability of a shared online system for library operations. The expansion of OCLC services was rapid, as was the number of institutions involved.
