Can OCLC contribute VIAF information by request?
Applies to
- Virtual International Authority File (VIAF)
Answer
OCLC does not directly add content to VIAF; we harvest it, and display data provided by contributing libraries. Contributing libraries submit their authority data to VIAF on a regular basis. If a contributing library creates an authority record for you, that record will be submitted to VIAF during the next distribution for that authority file. You can find a list of participating libraries on the VIAF homepage: https://viaf.org/en
