The "Top 1000" titles most widely held by Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) member libraries—the intellectual works that have been judged to be worth owning by the "purchase vote" of libraries around the globe. The OCLC web site presents the top books most widely held by libraries, with thematic sublists, sample cover art, "Find in a Library" links, comparisons to other lists, and download files. A key to entries is available.<\/span><\/p>\n

The list is derived from WorldCat, a library catalog of items held by 53,000 libraries in 96 countries.<\/p>\n

Fun facts about the updated OCLC Top 1000<\/a><\/h3>\n

Because it reflects the decisions of many libraries over many years, the list would not be expected to change much from one year to the next. And, in fact, this year’s list is substantially the same as last year’s. What changes there are in individual rankings are due as much to continuing refinements in the list-building methodology as to changes in the system-wide collection actually held by libraries.<\/p>\n

How do libraries choose?<\/u><\/span><\/h3>\n

Deciding what items to add to a library collection is part of what librarians call collection development. Libraries have written collection-development policies, which are based on the mission and goals of the library, the needs and requests of the community it serves, and the level of resources the library has to work with. Libraries also rely heavily on book reviews. A decision to purchase a single item is rarely made in isolation.<\/p>\n

What does this list say about libraries?<\/u><\/span><\/h3>\n

Libraries are rich, deep, resources for preserving cultural heritage and indispensable resources for the communities they serve. By and large the list reflects true classics and canonical works of western culture. The list also shows the extent that libraries strive to meet the needs of their readers, by offering books in high demand any given year. The list contains classic works such as the Bible, utilitarian works such as the U.S. Census and also popular works such as Tom Brokaw’s Greatest Generation.<\/p>\n

How the list was made:<\/u><\/span><\/h3>\n

WorldCat + FRBR + manual intervention + holdings + sorting<\/p>\n

In a nutshell: we made a master list of all the items held by libraries around the globe. We tweaked it to bring together different printings and editions and translations, and then we counted the number of libraries that own each title. We ranked the titles in descending order by the number of items held by libraries. Then we provided some additional categories to create sublists of fiction, drama, children’s works, and so forth.<\/p>\n
