Putting the Pieces Together: How to build a complete library services platform with the OCLC services you already have

A 30-minute webinar that explains how if your library catalogs and shares resources through OCLC, you're already using part of a full library services platform

Completing the system is a matter of adding the applications you don't have yet—not migrating to something new.

OCLC’s WorldShare Management Services (WMS) brings acquisitions, circulation, metadata management, interlibrary loan, license management, analytics, and discovery together in one cloud-based platform built on WorldCat.

Libraries cataloging in WorldCat and filling requests through OCLC are already working inside that platform today.

In this session, we cover:

• Which parts of WMS most libraries already have and what the full system includes
• How one shared set of data across cataloging, ILL, and circulation ends duplicate work
• What adding acquisitions, circulation, and discovery actually involves — timeline and effort
• Lessons learned from other libraries that have taken this step
