OCLC @ IFLA 2023
Together, we have greater impact
Everything we do begins and ends with helping libraries thrive. We help libraries access meaningful data and services that provide insights to make a bigger impact.

What’s data got to do with it? Making decisions in an age of uncertainty
Intuition is a powerful, subconscious thought process which relies on past experiences to inform decision-making. By searching our long-term memory for similar situations, we can quickly make in-the-moment judgments. Sometimes, it is a feeling you get that you cannot explain.
But what happens when we are in a rare or new situation? Intuition falters because it can’t recognize patterns and provide a recommended approach. Our feelings are a gauge, but they are not facts. From a global pandemic to economic instability to AI, we live and lead in a world that is constantly presenting us with new, and complex, situations.
Data-driven decision-making (“DDDM”) provides insights when intuition falls short.
Your focus is our focus
Trends with impact
Our researchers collaborate with libraries from around the world to produce knowledge, evidence, and models that accelerate and expand library learning, innovation, and collaboration.
