OCLC Web-scale Management Services

Print

OCLC introduces Web-scale Management Services, a cloud-based solution for library management functions including circulation, print and electronic acquisitions, license management, self-configuration, and workflow that will leverage the global participation of OCLC libraries.  By allowing libraries to use shared hardware, services, and data, OCLC says this approach can increase visibility and accessibility of libraries’ collections for patrons, reduce duplication of effort, streamline workflows, and build a cooperative intelligence from the large-scale aggregation of usage data.
