McGill University will be upgrading its knowledge management infrastructure and fully integrating OCLC WorldShare Management Services (WMS) as its cloud-based library services platform in May 2019.
In the summer of 2018, McGill Library upgraded the existing WorldCat Local online catalogue and search tool to its successor WorldCat Discovery. The final stage of the upgrade will bring together all applications needed to manage a library, including acquisitions, circulation, metadata, resource sharing, license management, full analytics and a single-search discovery interface for library users.
As part of the OCLC library cooperative, WMS enables libraries to draw on the collaborative data and work of libraries worldwide for processes that are more efficient. It provides libraries with the unique opportunity to share innovation, applications, infrastructure, vision and success in serving their users. WMS also includes analytics tools and a range of standard reports, and allows libraries to develop their own analytics so they can better understand their activities and track key metrics over time.
