Vrije Universiteit (VU University) in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, has selected OCLC WorldShare Management Services to manage its library resources.
WorldShare Management Services (WMS) provide cloud-based library management and discovery applications in an integrated suite. WMS offers librarians a cost-effective way to manage workflows efficiently, and improve access to library collections and services for their students, faculty and staff.
VU University is part of the UKB consortium of Dutch university libraries that is moving its library services to WorldShare, the technology platform that makes it possible to integrate their metadata management and resource sharing into a global network to gain efficiencies in workflow and IT infrastructure.
More than 330 libraries worldwide are using WorldShare Management Services to share bibliographic records, publisher and knowledge base data, vendor records, serials patterns and more. WMS also provides libraries with the unique opportunity to share innovation, applications, infrastructure, vision and success in serving their users.
