OCLC's Name-Address Directory (NAD)

Scope

• The Name-Address Directory (NAD or ND) is used to find out the name, address, and other information for the three-letter codes of libraries subcribing to OCLC services.
• This is useful when:
  • In the Union List mode:
    • You want to find out what libraries have a particular serial.
  • In the Inter-Library Loan mode:
    • You want to find out what libraries have a particular book or other item.
    • You want to check out a library's ILL policies when requesting an inter-library loan.

How to get into NAD

• Type cho nd <control> <c>
• Type a NAD colon " : " command, which will kick you automatically into ND.
• Note: An "ND" will appear in the upper-right-hand corner of the display when you are in the NAD.

To exit NAD

• Type ret <control> <c>
