[Libs-Or] Alternatives to OCLC

[Erica Findley]

Yes, Innovative Interfaces is now offering a bibliographic utility that
provides similar cataloging services to OCLC. It is called Skyriver
http://theskyriver.com/. There is also a cost associated with this service,
but I have heard their business model is quite different from OCLC and some
think it provides a better value for the money spent. I have not used this
service, but I know others have and you can find some information by
searching on line.
