OCLC WorldShare Management Services: Creating a different future for library services

Recently launched, OCLC WorldShare Management Services (WMS) 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.

LYRASIS and OCLC are pleased to continue our partnership to provide information on the web scale working environment. Bookmark this page so you can visit often to learn about the in-person and online conferences we are planning to share the value of cloud computing.
