Anythink, the public library system for Adams County, has signed on to implement OCLC Wise, the first community engagement system for US public libraries.
Anythink joins Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, Indiana, as an early adopter for Wise. The Wise system transforms traditional library management with a holistic people-centric approach. It combines the power of customer relationship management, marketing, and analytics with integrated library system (ILS) functions such as circulation, acquisitions, and discovery. Wise is designed around people and driven by data, empowering library staff to better understand and meet community needs.
OCLC will continue to partner with more early adopters to support development of key priorities and shape future library innovation. This special group of libraries will work closely with OCLC's product team whose strategy and road map are designed with flexibility to support this important collaboration.
Wise is a customisable and proven service that is currently used by more than 75 percent of public libraries in the Netherlands. Wise is being tailored to address the specific needs of US public libraries. OCLC will work with early adopters, other public libraries, and the library community at large to help inform Wise development efforts.
