User groups

User Groups

The OCLC cooperative includes a number of user groups whose forums exchange ideas and discuss issues. The groups are established and governed by users with an OCLC staff person serving as a liaison to the group.

User Groups typically meet several times a year, both on OCLC's campus and at industry gatherings.

For questions about a specific group, please contact the OCLC or regional service provider listed on each individual group's page.
