WorldCat Resource Sharing support
Just getting started?
Learn the basics of the WorldCat Resource Sharing interface with our series of online tutorials. You'll also want to print and keep our quick reference guide handy.
Don't forget your policies
The OCLC Policies Directory is key to the efficient operation of resource sharing, allowing other libraries to quickly determine if and how an item you hold can be borrowed. Inaccurate policies mean delays and precious time lost in turnaround.
Your policies need to be present and accurate in the Directory. Please log on to the OCLC Policies Directory with your WorldCat Resource Sharing authorization and update your information.
Ready to improve your workflow?
Let your users initiate their own requests directly from citations within the FirstSearch service. It's convenient for them and your staff spends less time on fulfullment.
Save even more time with Direct Request, a feature that sends requests into the WorldCat Resource Sharing system without staff intervention.
