Why take this course?

 Learn how WorldCat Local (link to http://www.oclc.org/us/en/worldcatlocal/default.htm) creates the shortest distance between your users’ information needs and the resources you provide.

WorldCat Local gives your ILS and other accumulated systems an updated, user-focused front end—based on the WorldCat.org environment—and absorbs the complexity of integrating them. Patrons get the ease-of-use and Web features they want, and through the application of open standards, information about your collection is discoverable in many places it wasn't before. Best of all, this comprehensive solution comes from an established provider dedicated to the long-term mission and vitality of libraries.
