Using SCIPIO Records

SCIPIO records describe art auction and rare book catalogs for sales from the late sixteenth century to the present. Records include the dates and places of sales, the auction houses, sellers, institutional holdings, and titles of works.

SCIPIO records in WorldCat are the result of incorporating the SCIPIO database, formerly available from the Research Libraries Group (RLG), into WorldCat during the integration of RLG into OCLC during 2007.

Learn how to search, edit, and create SCIPIO records.

Please note: This will be an online webinar, not a hands-on training class. All that is needed to attend is a computer with Internet access with a nearby phone for audio access. This presentation will run for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.
