Non-profit global library cooperative OCLC has announced that SAE Institute is using OCLC's WorldShare Management Services to bring together its 51 campuses in 25 countries on the same library services platform so students and staff can collaborate and access the resources they need.
WorldShare Management Services (WMS) provides all the applications needed to manage a library, including acquisitions, circulation, resource sharing, metadata and license management, and a discovery service for library users. It also includes a range of reports that help libraries better understand their activities and track key metrics over time.
As part of the OCLC library cooperative and with WorldCat as 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.
With campuses in 25 countries, SAE was looking for a library services solution that would effectively unlock its siloed information and human resources around the world. Before implementing WMS, many SAE libraries were using different systems and had no way to collaborate or share resources. Students could not view or access resources from other regions.
