University of Twente (UT), an entrepreneurial research university, has chosen WorldShare Management Services (WMS) to support management of electronic content, to enhance business processes, and to facilitate partnerships across the global library network.
The selection of WMS confirms UT’s commitment to continued investment in electronic content. Its selection also supports UT’s unique campus collaboration between companies, researchers, and students. University of Twente is the Netherland’s only campus university, and The Living Smart Campus is the embodiment of its stated intention to make its research visible to a wider audience.
With the adoption of WMS, all four of the Netherland’s technical universities are now partnering with OCLC, which offers opportunity for collaboration and workflow efficiencies.
WMS makes it possible for member libraries to share data and output globally, resulting in cost savings, work efficiencies, and enhanced value to users. WMS reporting facilities give libraries worldwide the opportunity to collect and interpret data, and WorldCat Discovery offers users an intuitive search across collections. The benefits of data sharing through WorldCat is well established among the UKB—a consortium of thirteen university libraries and the national library—to which UT is committed.
