HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht, one of the largest universities of applied sciences in the Netherlands, is now using OCLC WorldShare Management Services as its library management system.
WorldShare Management Services (WMS) is the cloud-based library services platform that provides all of the applications needed to manage a library, including acquisitions, circulation, metadata, resource sharing, license management, and a discovery service for users. It also includes a range of reports that helps libraries better understand their activities and track key metrics over time.
HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht provides education and carries out applied research, working with organisations and institutions to find solutions to a wide variety of complex issues. The university's research generates knowledge and new insights both for the relevant professional field and for teaching activities.
As part of the OCLC library cooperative, WMS libraries work together through the WorldShare environment. Librarians are also able to connect with one another, exchange best practices, contribute ideas and stay informed about new WMS enhancements in the web-based OCLC Community Center, which is available 24/7.
Libraries worldwide are using WMS to share bibliographic records, publisher and knowledge base data, vendor records, serials patterns and more. With WorldCat at its foundation, WMS enables libraries to draw on the collaborative data and work of libraries worldwide for more efficient workflows. WMS also provides libraries with the unique opportunity to share innovation, applications, infrastructure, vision and success in serving their users.
