Global library cooperative OCLC, US, and Amigos Library Services have entered into a new partnership to provide libraries with expanded implementation, training and education services for OCLC's new Web-scale Management Services. With over 600 members, Amigos claims to be one of the largest consortia of libraries and cultural heritage institutions in the US.
Amigos and OCLC have collaborated for many years to jointly provide extensive training, consulting and education services for OCLC's full suite of services for libraries and consortia. The new partnership programme builds on this foundation to provide member libraries the support they will need as they implement the next generation of cooperative library services. The Amigos team of library service professionals will work with libraries to help them with project management, implementation and training for OCLC's new Web-scale Management Services, the next-generation Web-based suite of library management tools for metadata management, acquisitions, circulation and license management.
The new partnership agreement will also continue the work the two organisations began in 2009 to streamline and enhance support, billing, reporting and other administrative services that will increase efficiencies and deliver additional cost savings to members.
