OCLC WorldShare ILL update

by Kate Boyle

+++ Please route to appropriate personnel +++ OCLC has announced a new timeline for the migration of WorldCat Resource Sharing to OCLC WorldShare ILL. The following is an excerpt from the ISL E-news : "OCLC has decided to extend access to WorldCat Resource Sharing<http://www.oclc.org/resource-sharing.en.html> to May 2014. The change was made in response to requests from the OCLC interlibrary loan community that OCLC provide additional time for them to fully learn the new WorldShare ILL service while retaining access to WorldCat Resource Sharing. The new schedule for libraries' transitions from WorldCat Resource Sharing to WorldShare ILL is: * All new requests must be placed in WorldShare ILL (no new requests placed in WorldCat Resource Sharing): April 14, 2014 * End of access to WorldCat Resource Sharing: May 19, 2014 Between now and May 19, 2014, OCLC will continue to add new features to the service. The next scheduled release of features is in November 2013. Between November 2013 and February 2014, the service will not change substantially to provide an opportunity to become more familiar with WorldShare ILL during a three-month period when the service remains essentially unchanged." Have a good weekend.
