WorldCat Registry

[Ken Varnum]

As the lucky guy who maintains our library's entries in OCLC's WorldCat
Registry [http://worldcat.org/registry/institutions], I've assiduously
maintained data points like our campus IP addresses over the years. Yet
I've not come across a library vendor (database, full-text, etc.) who
actually makes use of it to maintain on-campus IP ranges for our
institution. It seems a promising and useful tool that has largely gone
ignored.

Am I simply not asking the right vendors the right questions? Anyone out
there have vendors that use the Registry as the source of campus IP data
for access?
