WorldShare Management Services (WMS) helps community college libraries keep up with growing enrollment and rising digital expectations without adding staff, complexity, or cost. It supports modern access without making staff become full-time system troubleshooters. It’s easy to use, cloud-managed, and designed to scale service demand without scaling complexity so a small team can meet modern expectations with confidence.

“We're really excited that we can put this staff time toward initiatives that are actually going to have a direct impact on our students. We're looking forward to developing new initiatives as we go along and get more comfortable with WorldShare Management Services.”

Lydia Welhan
Technical Services Librarian, Saddleback College

“We found that the WMS solution was a really good fit for our budget situation. …Certain other services we could eliminate, such as … the authority control updating.”
