“Harnessing the power of the largest shared library database was a significant factor in our decision to go with OCLC when it was time to consider migrating from our legacy ILS to a modernized LSP. There is no need to export and import records from OCLC into a local ILS; the same central database where you add holdings and improve the quality of worldwide records is the basis for your outward facing public catalog. Moreover, we were impressed by the level of customization and support during the implementation process.”
