3. Overview
What happened in February
Policies Directory update
WorldCat Resource Sharing
• WorldCat Direct
• Integrated Fulfilment
The ILLiad community
WorldCat Navigator
5. The WCRS Perfect Storm
A new authentication process was installed on February 1
which resulted in unanticipated issues including:
• Requests mistakenly sent to lenders who may not hold an
item
• Requests for an institution submitted with another
institution listed as the borrower
• Borrowers received materials that they did not request
Note - These were isolated and limited requests – the vast
majority processed as usual.
6. Corrective action plan
Processes being put in place to ensure this doesn’t happen again
Project now split over 3 different time periods to ensure service
continuity:
May 09 Institutional data feed update
Aug 09 Policies UI install
Sept 09 Authentication upgrade (December fallback)
All projects can be turned off quickly and easily in case any issues
found
All projects timed so as not to affect peak
Please note that we’ll give notice in the week before the August and
September installs are confirmed
8. OCLC Policies Directory new interface
• New interface –
design based on
usability tests with
current libraries and
review at ALA
Midwinter
• New platform and
underlying
architecture
• Deeper integration
with WorldCat
Registry
9. What is going away?
Concept of a “unit”
Reciprocal Lender field
Not going away, but changing where the data is held: FEIN
number, Lending URL, Library homepage (URL), Library
catalog (URL), Library type. These pieces of information
will be held in the WorldCat Registry and any changes to
them will need to be made through the WC Registry
interface
The Institution name and location (city, state, country) will
also be coming from the Registry
10. WorldCat Registry Data to be used in Policies
Directory
Institution name
Institution type
City, State, Country
Home page
Online Catalog
Recently added to registry:
FEIN
Lending URL
11. New Policies screen – copies, loans and
deflections all available in one display
12. Time table for new Policies Directory
• We are tentatively looking at the August timeframe
• WebEx session will be offered in the month prior to
introduction of the new interface
• Tutorial will be available
13. Policy directory
• Policy directory web service in development for use by:
• ILLiad, VDX and Navigator
• Putting in place processes
• for retrospectively updating international policy data
following data loads
• for including policy data with new data loads
15. WorldCat Direct
WorldCat Direct provides home delivery of physical materials
to users.
OCLC is moving to create a sustainable model of library
home delivery through its pilot programs:
• Montana Pilot
• Phase 2 Pilot
16. WorldCat Direct Phase 2 Pilot:
Compare with Montana…
Same purpose: Home delivery for ILL Requests
Differences:
• Resources provided by book supplier instead of
lending library
• Patron may purchase book
• Patron may keep book longer
• Borrowing library pays for each delivery
17. Progress So Far

WorldCat Resource Sharing (OCLC Symbol: QUICK)
• 30 day loans, plus some lead time for mailing
• Postage-paid return envelope
• Library or User may purchase book
• (no home delivery)
Better World Books must have interesting inventory…
• >3,700 requests from non-pilot libraries through WorldCat
Resource Sharing since May 2008
21. Next Steps
WorldCat Direct Pilot
Continue the Pilot
Modify WorldCat Resource Sharing to support direct delivery
for all OCLC libraries
Promote the service to all libraries using WorldCat Resource
Sharing or ILLiad – by end of 2009
22. Integrated Fulfilment
• Resource sharing and e-journal management
• A web scale solution to IDS Project’s ALIAS
• Integrated Knowledge Base with WorldCat
• License management – ILL Y/N & ILL instructions
• WCRS or ILLiad for request management
• Part of WCRS subscription – not an additional service
