OCLC WorldShare Management Services: Creating a different future for library services
Recently launched, OCLC WorldShare™ Management Services provide a Web-based environment that streamlines cataloging, acquisitions, license management and circulation and provides a next-gen discovery tool for library users.
Designed to replace and stand apart from traditional ILS systems, WorldShare™ Management Services enables libraries to share infrastructure costs and resources, as well as collaborate in ways that free them from the restrictions of local hardware and software.
