Serving
academic libraries

In a rapidly changing educational environment, academic libraries need more time and staff resources to meet the needs of faculty and students. They are also looking for tools that shine a light on their vital contributions toward the success of their academic institutions. OCLC services help simplify library workflows, giving staff the tools and time to invest in relationships across campus, to evolve local collections and to create new programs.

But through an automated process, staff quickly updated the records to keep the resources available while they worked to create a modern research hub for the community.

Staff at The University of Manchester Library spent a lot of time trying to understand how valuable their e-resources were. They had to consult multiple reports, manually analyze data, and wait a month or more for new data to arrive.
