WorldCat Resource Sharing
Attend a free Web sessionWorldCat Resource Sharing Best Practices: The Secret World of the FirstSearch Administration Module Join OCLC and Tina Baich, Assistant Librarian from Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis (IUP) for an overview of resource sharing settings in the OCLC FirstSearch Administration Module. Use FirstSearch Administration to create and modify Constant Data, Direct Request Profiles and Custom Holdings. This refresher on your library's administration settings will help you prepare you for your upcoming transition to the new WorldShare Interlibrary Loan service, due for initial release later this year.
Enhanced resource sharing of articlesView the full ALA Annual presentation "The Shortest Distance Between Two Clicks: From User to Article in No Time Flat" When your library belongs to a sharing network, more people find the information they want. Because increasingly Internet-savvy users don't care where material "lives" but do care how fast they can access it, each resource that is quickly borrowed or loaned represents another satisfied customer—and one that your library, or another, could have lost. When you're a part of WorldCat Resource Sharing, your ability to satisfy the next customer is unmatched. Composed of more than 10,000 libraries worldwide, the WorldCat Resource Sharing network has at its core the comprehensive WorldCat database. WorldCat's millions of records represent library-owned resources—both physical and digital—that cross all manner of subjects, languages, cultures and uniqueness. You fill 95 percent or more of requests, reinforcing the perception of your library as a "one-stop" provider of essential services. Coming soon - a new resource sharing service We are now in the early phase of development for a future service that will give WorldCat Resource Sharing users a new interface that simplifies library and end-user requesting workflows through timesaving resource sharing tools. Learn more about plans for this future service.
