WORLDSHARE METADATA COLLECTION MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONALITY ANNOUNCED

摘要

OCLC has announced new WorldShare Metadata collection management functionality designed to offer more efficient ways for libraries to manage electronic resources and improve user access to those collections. WorldShare Metadata collection management automatically delivers WorldCat MARC records for electronic materials and ensures the metadata and access URLs for these collections are continually updated, providing library users better access to these materials and library staff more time for other priorities. OCLC worked with libraries in North America to beta test the new functionality as part of OCLC WorldShare Metadata services, Pilots of the new functionality are planned in different regions around the world.
