Connecting the world's libraries to operate and innovate at Webscale
OCLC WorldShare provides a Web-based platform for collective innovation with shared services, integrated applications and a streamlined approach to managing library workflows. Together with WorldCat, WorldShare helps the world's libraries connect in new ways to operate, innovate and collaborate at Webscale.
Libraries founded and built the cooperative and member libraries own the cooperative today. The role that OCLC members play in the guidance, health and growth of the organization cannot be overstated. Put simply, everything OCLC does is intended to provide increased value for its members.
OCLC Research works with the community to collaboratively identify problems and opportunities, prototype and test solutions, and share findings through publications, presentations and professional interactions.
