Quick Summary
We continue to work toward an implementation of the OCLC WorldCat Discovery platform. To date, we have held five webinars for libraries interested in the OCLC Batchload/Reclamation offer available through the recently negotiated MnLINK contract. We are expecting to move to the new discovery platform by July 2016.

Minitex staff are working with OCLC to configure the WorldCat Discovery interface to meet the needs of Minnesota libraries. A marketing committee comprised of staff from MnLINK libraries and Minitex is meeting to determine how to build patron awareness as we move to the new system. The committee has reviewed designs for the new MnLINK Gateway logo.
A discussion of the move to the OCLC WorldCat Discovery platform as well as an update on the marketing committee's work was included during the MnLINK Gateway Operations Committee meeting held on November 5, 2015.
