1. WorldCat Local Quickstart at Central Connecticut State Universityhttp://burrittlibrary.worldcat.org Debbie Herman Head, Electronic Resources and Information Systems hermand@ccsu.edu AIM: debbieatlibrary Twitter: debaherman

2. Why Implement? Part of your WorldCat subscription 60 million article citations from ArticleFirst and JSTOR Customizable search box Integrates services (link resolvers, document delivery, purchase, etc.) Searches OCLC licensed databases Social networking tools Real-time item availability & Ability to place holds

3. Implementation Site setup done by OCLC (usually 24-hour turnaround) Examine site template for customizations (tire kicking phase) Customization made through service configuration website (and help from OCLC) Training webinars offered weekly (basic and advanced)

4. CCSU’s Implementation Site was configured last summer Worked with Reference staff and Head of Access services on customization decisions Help needed from OCLC to add a holdings group for the CT State U libraries and to harmonize display logic of “Place hold” button with circulation policies. Preview link provided during fall 2009 semester; link to WorldCat on FS replaced in January 2010.

5. So, are you replacing your OPAC with WorldCat Local Quickstart? Not yet… these are the challenges Shared OPAC Not all holdings included in WorldCat (batch loading req.) Conservative library culture – some criticism that WC local and worldcat.org algorithm weights the popular and recent more heavily, no index displays.
