Abstract
In 2006, with the support of Cooperative Online Serials (CONSER),
the University of California (UC) implemented a CONSER Funnel.
The Funnel provides an opportunity for serials catalogers across UC
campuses to edit CONSER-authenticated Online Computer Library
Center (OCLC) master records. This article explores factors that led
catalogers among the UC campuses to organize the Funnel, the
organizational model developed for the UC CONSER Funnel, the
cost/value of the Funnel to its members, and general considerations
for implementing and sustaining a Funnel. The article concludes
with a discussion of recent developments. Currently, changes in
work environment due to Next Generation Melvyl (OCLC WorldCat
Local), Web 2.0, and budget cuts are influencing evolution of the
Funnel. Will these changes strengthen campus interest in cooperation
or diminish the energy needed for this effort?
