OCLC Implementation Services: implementation expertise, resources and tools

For libraries that have chosen OCLC's WorldShare Management Services, the OCLC WMS implementation team will assist you with data migration, policy configuration, staff training and change management to ensure the success of your investment.

Your library will have the choice of a cohort or traditional implementation model.

  • With the cohort option, you will be part of a small group implementing WMS together, with a shared curriculum and on an established schedule. The innovative cohort model enables you to learn both from fellow cohort institutions and OCLC experts.
  • In contrast, the traditional option enables your library to implement WMS at your own pace and to work one-on-one with OCLC staff.

Whether you choose the cohort or traditional option, dedicated, experienced OCLC staff will guide you step-by-step through your WMS implementation.

The implementation has been really positive. OCLC grouped us in a cohort of about five libraries that are all adopting at the same time, which has really encouraged cooperation. You might have a question, or not even know you have a question, and someone will ask it and you get to benefit from the answers OCLC or the other cohorts provide. It really is more of a collaborative implementation model."
