Join us for WorldCat Resource Sharing Web seminars!
Do you want to accomplish routine interlibrary loan tasks efficiently while saving library money? Would you like to learn some tips and tricks that can benefit your resource sharing workflows? Join us for a series of webinars in which resource sharing librarians share their best practices. OCLC Web seminars are no-cost, live presentations viewable via the Web with audio provided by WebEx.
The first in this series is a focus on Direct Request. Merle Slyhoff, Collection Development & Resource Sharing Librarian at the University of Pennsylvania will share her experience and tips on how she makes this feature work hard so she doesn’t have to.
Direct Request lets a user place a request directly from an online citation. That request can then bypass staff review and enter the WorldCat Resource Sharing system directly. Your Direct Request profile sets the criteria that determine if requests are manually processed or automatically sent to an eligible supplier, and whether sharing is available for items you already own.
Date: Wednesday, May 12, 2010 Time: 2:00 – 3:00 pm ET
If you or someone you know would like to share some practical examples at one of these webinars, please contact Tony Melvyn. We’d love to hear from you!
