OCLC WorldCat Resource Sharing Now Supports IE7

WorldCat Resource Sharing now supports both Internet Explorer (IE) 6 and IE7. Users will need to modify security settings in their browsers and add oclc.org as a trusted site.

Note: For IE6 the default setting for "Security Level for this Zone" is LOW, so users of IE6 only need to complete the second task of adding *.oclc.org as a trusted site.

Below are complete instructions for changing the security settings in IE7.

First, close down all active applications (including Outlook, Word and all instances of IE, etc.). Then open your browser.

Security settings for IE7 — Select the following options:

  • Click on the Tools menu
  • Open Internet Options
  • Go to the SECURITY TAB
  • Click on the TRUSTED SITES icon
  • Change "Security Level for this Zone" to LOW with the Slider Bar (Default Level is Medium)
    • LOW IS THE PREFERRED SETTING, but MEDIUM LOW will work
  • Next select the SITES button and add *.oclc.org to the trusted sites
  • Make sure the "Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone" is UNCHECKED
  • If the box is checked when you enter *.oclc.org in the trusted sites, you will get a warning "Sites added to this zone must use the https:// prefix. This prefix assures a secure connection."
    • Click on the OK button
    • Uncheck the box
    • Add again
  • Click on Close
  • Click on OK to exit from menu
  • Close your browser
  • Open your browser

Adding *.oclc.org as a trusted site for IE7 and IE6:

  • Click on the Tools menu
  • Open Internet Options
  • Open on the Security tab
  • Click on the Trusted Sites icon (green)
  • Click on Sites button
  • Enter: *.oclc.org in the "Add this Web site to the zone" box
  • Unclick the server verification / https: requirement
  • Click Add
  • Click OK to close the Trusted Sites window
  • Click OK to close Internet Options window
Continue your work.
