WorldCat Resource Sharing Enhancements Installed
On Sunday, July 8, OCLC installed two enhancements to WorldCat Resource Sharing.
The enhancements include:
- GAC, GAC/UL and UL affiliations displayed in lender requests — Lenders in WorldCat Resource Sharing (WCRS) will see a list of all the GACs, GAC/ULs and ULs to which both they and the requesting library belong. This enhancement will allow lenders to more easily recognize partners with whom they have lending agreements and more accurately make policy decisions and apply constant data and lending charges.
- .PDF shipping label capability in batch processing — From the batch processing screen users will be able to export shipping labels to a .PDF. WCRS will support the following label formats: 5160, 5162 and 5164. Once a lender has updated a pending or in process request via batch processing or a borrower has updated requests to returned, the lender can select a button to print shipping labels.
Additional information can be accessed on OCLC's WorldCat Resource Sharing Web page.
