About OCS

One of the primary mandates of the Centre is to build and host Union Catalogue of Books available in Indian Universities. Centre has developed Online Copy Catalogue System (OCS) to promote cooperative cataloguing and avoid duplication of efforts as stated below.

  • Copy records of documents available in IndCat (Having more than 77 Lakh unique Bibliographic record of books) into the SOUL 2.0 software directly. This process updates the holding information for the bibliographic record being downloaded.
  • Create new record for a document that is not available in the IndCat.[This new record will be saved on SOUL 2.0 software as well as INFLIBNET's Union Catalogue (IndCat)]
  • Upload & download the bulk record, to & from IndCat server respectively.
