Global Resource Sharing Policies in the WorldCat Registry

WorldCat Registry users around the world can now access global resource sharing policy information in the Registry.

Policy information about global resource sharing previously available only in the subscriber-only Policies Directory is now included in institution profiles within the WorldCat Registry for display by any Registry user.

Access to global resource sharing policies will help Registry users determine whether a library will loan a resource identified through the WorldCat database to libraries within the same country or in other countries. Consulting the Registry for this type of policy information will save time for library staff trying to obtain needed items for their users.
