Learn More

OCLC offers many options to obtain the skills and knowledge you need to accomplish your mission. From live-online webinars and in-person instruction to self-paced, Web- tutorials and demonstrations, you can choose the best type of training and education for you. In addition to instruction on OCLC products and services, we also offer custom training options and consulting services. And with our network of OCLC-certified Training Partners, you now have access to an expanded set of education and training offerings nationwide via the OCLC Training Portal, giving you additional choices to learn more.

Our Approach

We understand the complexities of your work. We also understand the limited time and resources that you and your staff have to devote to learning. For every area of specialization, and for each OCLC product, we make it easy for you to identify which courses, online tutorials, user groups and other resources are available to fulfill your needs. And with live-online and in-person offerings from our network of OCLC-certified Training Partners, finding the course you need at a time that fits your schedule—and being confident that you are learning from experienced instructors—has never been easier.

No matter where you are—or what skills you and your staff are seeking to develop—you can achieve more, help your library reduce costs and serve your patrons more effectively.

The OCLC Curriculum

The OCLC Curriculum is a comprehensive set of guidelines and courses supporting the effective use of OCLC products and services. Each OCLC course is built around specific learning objectives, ensuring consistent, quality training. And because all of the OCLC product training offerings you find on the Portal meet the guidelines set by the Curriculum, you can count on receiving focused, quality training—whether you obtain that instruction directly from OCLC, or from one of our certified Training Partners.

The OCLC Training Portal

You can now access, manage and track your learning online through a single Web interface. OCLC works with a network of Training Partners—all certified to provide training that meets the criteria of the OCLC Curriculum. The online Training Portal is your gateway to discovering and registering for all OCLC training available from both OCLC and its Training Partners.

All of the classes listed on the Training Portal are open to anyone interested in learning more about maximizing the use of OCLC products and services. You may qualify for registration discounts based on your affiliation with the training provider hosting the course.
