OCLC Webinar on the future of WorldCat Resource Sharing and FirstSearch

Mark your calendar for next Wednesday, January 16 from 10-11:00 a.m. for OCLC's “Transforming Discovery and Resource Sharing with OCLC: FirstSearch, WorldCat Resource Sharing and More" webinar! Crystal has the conference room booked.

This session will provide updates on plans to expand and enhance the WorldCat Resource Sharing and FirstSearch services. It will also include information about what you can do to prepare for your library’s transition to the new services.  

Why attend this session?
New services from OCLC will provide opportunities to create and share at Webscale. OCLC WorldShare Interlibrary Loan will replace WorldCat Resource Sharing in 2013, helping library staff and users even more quickly and easily obtain the resources they need from libraries worldwide and take advantage of the WorldShare Platform. OCLC is also bringing the user-friendly features of WorldCat.org together with the precision searching of FirstSearch, valued by library staff and expert researchers, to provide new expert-level features. You will learn about plans for new functionality, timelines for migration and how to start thinking about the transition in your library.

Thanks for setting this up, Crystal!
