Update OCLC FirstSearch accounts and WorldCat with new SWAN catalog URL
by Kate Boyle 27 Feb '14

27 Feb '14

+++ Please forward to appropriate personnel +++ Everyone - I thought with the recent network changes I would send out this SWANcom again. If you haven't already updated the links in WorldCat and your FirstSearch database screens with the new SWAN catalog URL, just follow the instructions below. Although, OCLC is migrating to a new Discovery interface for WorldShare, the current FirstSearch interface will still be available for another year. The SWAN catalog new URL is http://catalog.swanlibraries.net . You can update this information yourself in the OCLC Service Configuration area or submit an online form to OCLC support<http://registration.oclc.org/reg/?pc=WorldShareILLOPAClinks> and they will update the catalog link for your library. This catalog linking will allow a potential borrower to view the status of the item they are requesting before they enter your library in the lender's string. Save yourself some work and update your catalog link today. See the OCLC email below for more detailed information. Everyone have a great week. Kate Boyle SWAN Member Services Manager 125 Tower Drive Burr Ridge, IL 60527 Phone: 630.734.5162 Fax: 630.734.5056 kate.boyle(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:kate.boyle@railslibraries.info> http://support.swanlibraries.net From: Oliver,Sonya [mailto:olivers@oclc.org] Sent: Monday, December 16, 2013 7:29 AM To: OCLC-SHARING-L(a)oclc.org<mailto:OCLC-SHARING-L@oclc.org> Subject: [OCLC-SHARING-L] WorldShare ILL Tip of the Week: Save staff time by using library catalog links to confirm availability Importance: High The new OCLC WorldShare® Interlibrary Loan service lets ILL staff link to library catalogs to confirm availability of items requested through interlibrary loan. Ø Borrowers can link from a staff workform to confirm local availability before initiating a request and can link to potential lender catalogs to determine availability before including them in the lending string. Ø Lenders can link to their own catalogs from lending requests to quickly determine whether requested items are available for loan. For example, WorldShare ILL users will see the following options for linking to library catalogs: [cid:image003.png@01CF33AC.A2999780]Search my library's online catalog (links to your own catalog) [cid:image004.png@01CF33AC.A2999780]Library names in Holdings list hotlinked for libraries with catalog links in OCLC Service Configuration [cid:image005.jpg@01CEF80E.79C53140] To effectively use this library catalog linking feature in WorldShare ILL, borrowing and lending libraries must maintain up-to-date catalog links in the "Online Catalog" area of the WorldCat Registry settings in OCLC Service Configuration<http://www.worldcat.org/config>: [cid:image006.jpg@01CEF80E.79C53140] ENTER OR UPDATE LINKS TO YOUR LIBRARY'S CATALOG To make sure links to your library's catalog are working as they should, either log on to OCLC Service Configuration to review and update your links or let OCLC staff make the updates for you. 1. Ask OCLC staff to update links to your library's catalog. OCLC staff with experience in setting up these links will set up links to your library's catalog for you. Just complete the catalog link information form<http://registration.oclc.org/reg/?pc=WorldShareILLOPAClinks> with the needed information, and we will do the rest! Your updated library catalog link information will be active in WorldShare ILL by the end of the business day following your submission. 2. Update library catalog links yourself. If you already have an account to access OCLC Service Configuration, log on to the site at http://www.worldcat.org/config and navigate to the "Online Catalog" area of the section for WorldCat Registry settings. You will see the option to "Suggest Links." This tool will help you confirm that the links you enter are in the appropriate format for the type of catalog at your library. Once you enter your updated link data, it will be active within 24 hours. FOR ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE For additional information about setting up or updating links to your library's catalog: · Consult the "Online Catalog" area of the WorldCat Registry section of the OCLC Service Configuration Guide<http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/support/worldcat-local/documentation/Servic…> documentation · Contact OCLC Customer Support at support(a)oclc.org<mailto:support@oclc.org> or OCLC Support in your region<http://www.oclc.org/support/contact-support.en.html> for assistance with using Article Exchange for document delivery. P.S. Previous WorldShare ILL "Tip of the Week" messages are available for your review on the OCLC website.<http://www.oclc.org/support/training/portfolios/resource-sharing/worldshare…>
