WorldCat Discovery Best Practies Webinar
11:30a.m.-12:30 p.m. EDT US [UTC -4]
Planning your transition to WorldCat Discovery and wondering how other libraries have done it? Join your colleagues to hear how WorldCat Discovery is being used at the Charles C. Myers Library at the University of Dubuque in Dubuque, Iowa. Presenting at this program is:
Jonathan Helmke, the Assistant Director for Library Systems and Technical Services and University Archivist
Becky Canovan, Reference and Instruction Librarian for the Social Sciences
Diana Newman, Administrative Assistant
You’ll learn how the University of Dubuque implemented WorldCat Discovery and promoted it to their users in the context of their library’s move to WorldShare Management Services (WMS)—and gain insights and best practices to help with your own move.
