What is WorldShare Management Services?

WMS serves as a versatile cloud-based library management solution that supports your strategic objectives by delivering actionable insights alongside a user-friendly interface. Through its integrated framework, you can effectively oversee both physical and digital assets, resulting in considerable time and financial efficiencies. The platform enhances the user experience with a streamlined interface that enables users to search across the entire collection and databases, find items in other libraries, check availability, place holds, manage their accounts, renew items, and execute numerous other functions. Founded on the WorldCat® framework, WMS links users to a vast array of global resources, tapping into OCLC’s broad library network. Moreover, the group functionality of WMS goes beyond simple resource sharing, allowing users to seamlessly find and request items from their library or affiliated groups without changing any interfaces. The circulation process benefits from optimized shared holds fulfillment and improved visibility into patron records, while still allowing local control over circulation policies, which guarantees that libraries can function effectively while catering to the needs of their communities. This cutting-edge solution not only aids libraries in navigating the changing dynamics of information access and resource management but also equips them to embrace future challenges in the library sector.
