Resource sharing groups

Library groups and consortia can efficiently and cost-effectively pool collections with WorldShare ILL. Setup is simple, especially if group members are already OCLC members. Libraries in the group easily contribute holdings to WorldCat so they are visible to WorldCat searchers.

Group Access Capability (GAC) organizations are ad hoc associations of libraries united by subject matter, geography or another attribute. Through WorldShare ILL, GAC group members have access to each other's bibliographic, location and summary holdings records. The largest of these groups is Libraries Very Interested in Sharing (LVIS).

Here is a list of the OCLC Group Access Capability (GAC) and Union List (UL) Profiled Groups. For lists of member institution symbols within each group, see the OCLC Policies Directory.
