Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), one of the world's leading technical universities, is now live using OCLC WorldShare Management Services (WMS) as its library management system. The university library is the second in the Netherlands to go live with WMS, following Tilburg University.
WorldShare Management Services (WMS) is a complete, cloud-based library management system that offers all the applications needed to manage a library, including Acquisitions, Circulation, Metadata, Resource Sharing, License Management and a single-search Discovery interface to connect library users to the information they need. WMS also includes a range of Reports based on local data that help libraries understand their activities and track key metrics over time.
Other libraries in the Netherlands are expected to follow the lead of TU Delft and Tilburg University as they implement WMS in the coming months.
More than 360 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.
