OCLC : an overview of interesting and useful products and services

Abstract

From WorldShare Management Services (WMS) to the Digital Collection Gateway to the new Library 100, OCLC products and services continue to expand and to provide opportunities for increasing access to library collections. Presenters will give overviews of: 1) Major OCLC products, such as WorldCat Management Services and the Digital Collections Gateway; 2) Products OCLC has created using WorldCat metadata, such as WorldCat Identities and The Library 100; and 3) Other good to know OCLC activities and services that support libraries. Rather than giving an in depth description for any one service or product, this will be a quick overview and introduction to several, with pointers to additional information.
