Part of multi type test spearheaded by Lincoln Trails Library System assisted by an ISL LSTA grant

Began almost two years ago, CARLI Libraries saw delays as OCLC had problem working with our implementation of Voyager

OCLC assigned team to work with us October 2008

Lots of progress in four months since then but first a little about WCL

One stop shopping: bridge from local to world of library holdings while keeping local branding and scoping

FRBRized records Web 2.0 services: images, reviews, lists…. Article citations loaded will link back to full

text if local full text available OCLC negotiated Vendor record load

(prohibited) Power of WorldCat with access to 1.5 billion

holdings

WorldCat search with Voyager ◦ Repeat search and bring back availability◦ UIUC and I-Share and replicate I-Share experience

Mapping to locations and statuses Offering links to full text source based on

availability (still work in progress) Seamless requesting ILL options UIUC, I-Share

World Cat ILLiad links now work SFX ebooks SFX links journal articles but not always to

article (requires look up)

Performance (time outs and slowness) Unstable at times SFX links (note kept Discover button for all

I-Share as default) Complete record and holdings in OCLC

WorldCat required, loaded, right formats, maintain holdings

Voyager 7.0 looming which means changes

No release to public: only usability testing planned for this semester

User testing part of the LSTA grant Ask to remain as test through Voyager 7.0

changes and while we work with SFX and update holdings

Review again one year
