Cover Story. The Ripple Effect: Extending the library's reach. Today's librarians are engaging information seekers wherever they are—at the beach, in the street, on the stage, on the Web—to extend their impact and set in motion growing waves of relevance and usage.
Part of OCLC's commitment to research and education includes furthering the advancement of librarianship. OCLC does this not only through OCLC research but also by financially supporting awards and scholarships. OCLC is seeking nominations for the following 2010 OCLC-sponsored awards. Deadlines are in bold; the link provides more information about the award and the nominating process.
Plan now to join us for the first meeting of the OCLC Americas Regional Council, which will be held on Friday, January 15, 2010, 8:30 – 11:30 am (ET), in conjunction with the American Library Association (ALA) Midwinter Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts.
OCLC Research works with the community to collaboratively identify problems and opportunities, prototype and test solutions, and share findings through publications, presentations and professional interactions.

OCLC is partnering with Syndetic Solutions to offer trial access to evaluative content such as covert art, reviews and summaries in WorldCat Local. When enabled, this content will help WorldCat Local users more easily determine which items in search results will fulfill their research needs.
