Rebranding a newsletter
The OCLC Newsletter has covered libraries, membership programs
and OCLC research initiatives and product news since 1967. With this
issue, OCLC introduces NextSpace, a new magazine for our members and
information managers. NextSpace grew from the OCLC Newsletter. The
publication will analyze industry trends and technology developments as
well as feature news about OCLC. Our goal is to help you stay informed
and make key decisions.
NextSpace completes our efforts, which began last year, to provide you
with a publication more visually interesting and easier to read and that
puts OCLC’s efforts into a broader context. We will publish four times a
year, beginning with this issue.
As its name implies, NextSpace is about the next idea or the next trend
affecting libraries. It is also about the next step that will help libraries
create value and shape their future.
We kick off NextSpace with a feature story on rebranding and how
notable companies have responded when they needed to refresh or
reinvent their brand to remain relevant. It is advice we took to heart
when we renamed and refocused our magazine.
We have entered a new cataloging record in WorldCat, #62,313,411,
for NextSpace and closed out the record for the OCLC Newsletter.
Please adjust your serials management system accordingly.
We look forward to serving you in new ways with NextSpace, and we encourage your feedback and ideas for future issues.
