OCLC

OCLC eContent is not new to libraries. What is new is the ever-widening array of choices and eResources available through OCLC. This digital material occupies no shelf space, but offers patrons a wealth of full-text content. More information is available on the OCLC site.

OCLC’s Electronic Collections Online is a powerful electronic-journals service that offers Web access to a growing collection of more than 5,000 titles in a wide range of subject areas, from over 70 publishers of academic and professional journals. It also provides a robust archiving solution, cross-journal searching, and more.

FirstSearch is an online service that gives library professionals and end users access to a rich collection of reference databases. With FirstSearch, materials in your library’s collection are highlighted in results from searches in dozens of leading databases.

NetLibrary eBooks and eAudiobooks provide anytime, anywhere access to leading publishers' full-text and audio content for use at a computer or through a portable device.

Subscriber Agreement (MSWord)

Request a free trial, quote, or purchase a database.

There is some information that you'll need to know before ordering, and while each eContent partner or database requires slightly different information, the following generally applies: academic libraries may need to know how many FTEs they have and public libraries will likely be asked for average circulation statistics.

Once you have submitted your order, an OCLC Western staff member will contact you to discuss next steps.
