New Mexico Group Selects OCLC WMS as Cloud-Based Library Management System
LIBROS, the consortium that connects 16 academic libraries in New Mexico, has selected OCLC WorldShare Management Services as its new cloud-based library management system.
WorldShare Management Services is an integrated suite of library management applications—from acquisitions and circulation, to metadata and license management, resource sharing and analytics—designed to simplify and streamline workflows, reduce costs and create new value for libraries and their users.
Rebecca Lubas, Director of Discovery, Acquisitions, and Consortial Services at the University of New Mexico, said WorldShare Management Services offers an environment that will make it possible for the library management system to grow along with the LIBROS consortium.
More than 180 libraries on three continents—Australia, Europe and North America—are currently using OCLC WorldShare Management Services, which were released for general availability in July 2011. An additional 100 libraries have committed to using the new services.
