The benefits of WorldShare® Management Services

  • Save time and money. Improve service delivery.
  • Streamline workflows. With WorldCat data as its foundation, libraries using WMS experience improved workflows and drastic reductions in the time it takes to perform routine tasks, including e-resource management and cataloguing.
  • Realise significant cost savings. Traditional ILS systems often require costs to maintain servers and software. These costs are eliminated with WMS, a cloud-based system. Additionally, there are no fees related to the purchase of separate serials management, course reserves, openURL resolver and A-Z list services - these are all included with a WMS subscription
  • Manage e-resources efficiently. WMS integrates all your electronic and print resource management workflows - including selection, acquisitions and maintenance - within the same Web-based WorldShare interface
  • Improve discovery for your users and visibility for your library. Your WMS subscription includes WorldCat Discovery Services, which provides your users with a single-search of your electronic, digital and physical resources, as well as materials held by thousands of libraries worldwide. And, through OCLC’s syndication partners, it gives your library more visibility on the Web with leading search engines and other popular sites
  • Get better information about your systems. A WMS subscription includes a range of predefined/parameterised reports based on local library data. These include a local holdings report and dashboards that provide visual, at-a-glance views of key performance indicators about your library’s activities
