Student aan het Goucher College die werkt met WorldCat Discovery

"We hebben gewoon niet de ruimte of het geld om een collectie te hebben voor elk land dat onze studenten bezoeken. Daarom is WorldCat Discovery zo belangrijk."

Pamela Flinton
voormalig bibliothecaresse voor onderzoek en gebruikersdiensten, Goucher College

Goucher College zorgt dat alle studenten een kans krijgen om iets van de wereld te zien. "Er zijn veel scholen die studenten naar het buitenland laten gaan, maar wij vinden dit van zo'n wezenlijk belang, dat we het verplicht stelden," vertelt Barbara Snead, voormalig bibliothecaresse voor collectiediensten. "Dat betekent dat elke student naar het buitenland gaat."

De bibliotheek ondersteunt studenten zowel wanneer ze in het buitenland zijn als bij terugkomst. De bibliotheekcollectie is sterk beïnvloed door de belangstelling van de studenten in de landen en culturen waarmee ze kennis hebben gemaakt. "Vaak starten ze onderzoeksprojecten over de gebieden waar ze zijn geweest," vertelt Pamela Flinton, voormalig bibliothecaresse voor onderzoek en gebruikersdiensten. De bibliotheek kan niet voor elke afzonderlijke locatie een grote collectie ondersteunen, maar WorldCat® Discovery kan helpen.

"Het aantal e-books dat wij aanbieden, overstijgt bijna het aantal fysieke boeken in onze collecties," aldus Barbara. Vanwege de onderwerpen die voor de studenten van belang zijn, voegt Pamela daaraan toe: "We zijn een behoorlijk unieke opleiding voor wat betreft het aantal kleinere pakketten dat we hebben die geen deel uitmaken van de grote pakketten." Met de centrale index van WorldCat Discovery kan de bibliotheek belangrijke elektronische collecties aan de studenten aanbieden waartoe ze anders nooit toegang zouden hebben.

"Sommige docenten vinden dat de interface van WorldCat Discovery intuïtiever werkt."

Pamela Flinton
voormalig bibliothecaresse voor onderzoek en gebruikersdiensten, Goucher College

Om de studenten en docenten op de hoogte te brengen van de recente overgang op WorldCat Discovery, maakte Pamela gebruik van het marketingmateriaal dat OCLC beschikbaar stelt en stemde dat af op Goucher College. "Het zag er mooi uit en was gemakkelijk aan te passen", aldus Pamela. Ook ontwikkelde ze degelijke bibliotheekgidsen en zette ze informatie over de service op de website van de bibliotheek. Studenten en docenten zagen deze aankondigingen en gebruikten WorldCat Discovery om te zoeken in de catalogus van de bibliotheek. "De studenten wisten hun weg al snel te vinden, omdat ze de WorldCat-catalogus al kenden," voegt Pamela daaraan toe.

Studenten gebruiken ook vanuit het buitenland WorldCat Discovery om in onze catalogus te zoeken. Ze hebben er toegang tot bibliotheekitems in verschillende talen. "En dat we EZproxy® ook hebben geïmplementeerd, heeft echt verschil gemaakt voor de toegang die onze studenten vanaf andere locaties hebben tot ons bronnenmateriaal." Deze combinatie biedt de bibliotheek nu betere toegang dan ooit tot internationale bronnen.
