OCLC and LYRASIS present series on Web Scale
“We have a lot of good things that librarians could do if we could free up their time. Moving our ILS to the cloud fit our overall technology goals. With WMS, system costs will drop significantly. Like “getting another FTE” significantly. We’re going to save a lot of staff time.”
—Michael Dula, Director for Digital Initiatives and Technology Strategy, Pepperdine University Libraries
Move from server serfdom to the cooperative cloud
Everyone seems to be throwing around phrases like, “in the cloud,” or “paradigm shifts of Web-scale proportion.” But do you have the knowledge to formulate how you will elevate your library’s critical services—including acquisition, circulation and license management—to the cooperative cloud?
To help you get the knowledge you need, OCLC and LYRASIS have partnered to present:
Join us for one of our upcoming events to discover how Web scale is revitalizing traditional services through shared workflows, activities and data. At this event, you will build a community of support as you tackle various scenarios alongside colleagues and experts, while planning your library’s first steps toward Web scale. Through your participation in our Moving Libraries to Web Scale series, you and your staff will:
- Hear from library representatives who are en route to Web Scale, tech gurus and Web-scale advocates.
- Take a virtual tour of a live OCLC Web-scale Management Services site and consider viable (plus pie-in-the-sky) options for your library.
- Dream up new possibilities and discuss strategies for overcoming obstacles.
- Identify what you still need to find out—as part of your journey to the cloud.
Register today for an event near you:
- We currently do not have any events scheduled.
Additional in-person events will occur throughout the year, along with related webinars, virtual discussions and more.
