Complutense University of Madrid (Universidad Complutense de Madrid), one of the oldest universities in the world and among the top universities in Spain, is extending its partnership and commitment to OCLC's shared platform and services. The library's 27 branches hold a collection of 3 million books, 130,000 e-books, and 11,000 manuscripts. The library maintains special collections that date from the 15th century.
The university uses OCLC's WorldShare Management Services (WMS), the cloud-based library services platform that provides users with fast, reliable access to the library's collections and a worldwide network of knowledge. With WorldCat as its foundation, the library staff can draw on OCLC's shared data network and technology for more efficient workflows.
Complutense University is also using Tipasa, the cloud-based interlibrary loan management system that makes it possible for the library to manage a high volume of interlibrary loan requests, automate routine borrowing and lending functions, and provide an enhanced patron experience.
