This event sponsored by OCLC and Library Journal
The library community has indicated that traditional management systems
lack the flexibility and connectivity to meet the changing needs of
their users. Since demand for library services has never been higher,
new collaborative and innovative solutions are needed now more than ever.
As the first cooperative management services for libraries, OCLC
WorldShare™ Management Services
<http://visit.oclc.org/t?r=896&c=3047254&l=245696&ctl=409DC50:7D9A13F40F244FA97F5CB1E7F116E8DFAB211475F9D6EDD4&;>
provide all the applications for cataloging, acquisitions, license
management and circulation, and a next-gen discovery experience for
library users. This newly architected and streamlined approach frees
resources to focus on higher priority projects. WorldShare Management
Services are built on the new OCLC WorldShare™ Platform
<http://visit.oclc.org/t?r=896&c=3047254&l=245696&ctl=409DC52:7D9A13F40F244FA97F5CB1E7F116E8DFAB211475F9D6EDD4&;>—the
vehicle for big library collaboration.
Join *Marshall Breeding*, Vanderbilt University Libraries; *Gregg A.
Silvis*, University of Delaware Libraries; and *Andrew K. Pace*, OCLC,
as they share perspectives on the current and future state of library
management services.
During the webcast, Marshall Breeding—noted library automation expert
and Creator and Editor, Library Technology Guides and lib-web-cats—will
talk about what he terms one of the newest product categories:
the library services platform. Gregg A. Silvis will share his long-held
views about why change is needed in this area and what led to the
WorldShare Management Services decision at the University of Delaware.
Andrew K. Pace will present OCLC’s vision for connecting the world’s
libraries to operate and innovate at Webscale, and successes achieved by
libraries using WorldShare Management Services.
Find out what’s possible when you share apps, tools, protocols and data
with more libraries, developers and partners through the new platform.
Learn how you can focus on delivering greater value to your users, while
increasing efficiencies by moving routine tasks to a shared, cloud-based
infrastructure.
