Computer library service OCLC has announced that fifty additional libraries have selected OCLC WorldShare Management Services, choosing the Web-based library management services that simplify back-office operations, streamline library workflows, and provide a powerful discovery and delivery service for library users.
WorldShare Management Services offer unified, web-based applications - from acquisitions and circulation, to metadata and license management, resource sharing and analytics - to streamline workflows, and create new value for their institutions and users.
WorldShare Management Services were released for general availability in July 2011. Currently, more than 120 libraries on three continents - Australia, Europe and North America - are using the services. More than 200 libraries have signed up to use WorldShare Management Services.
Among the latest subscribers to OCLC WorldShare Management Services is the Oklahoma Department of Libraries, the first state library to subscribe and begin the implementation process.
