This Web session provides an introduction to learn how this exciting service delivers local and global resources in a single search.	2009-05-01
WorldCat.org access to OCLC electronic resources This Web session provides an introduction to OCLC’s plans for single-search access to your library’s OCLC eContent through the familiar WorldCat.org interface. In July, WorldCat.org will add library-branded, single-search-box access to NetLibrary eBooks and eAudiobooks, Electronic Collections Online eJournals, OCLC FirstSearch databases, ArchiveGrid archival collection descriptions and CAMIO—the Catalog of Art Museum Images Online. This will give information seekers easier access to a wide range of electronic resources on WorldCat.org in a way that eliminates the need for multiple access points. Whether your library subscribes to a single FirstSearch database or NetLibrary eBook or to a wide range of content, your users will be able to connect with this content—and the entire WorldCat database—through a WorldCat search box branded for your library. The program includes a “sneak preview” of the new interface that will be included with your OCLC eContent subscription at no additional charge.	2009-04-30
