OCLC WorldCat Resource Sharing Enhancements

On Sunday, August 6, OCLC installed two enhancements to WorldCat Resource Sharing:

Users are able to automatically log into the WorldCat administrative module from WorldCat Resource Sharing - When a user logs into WorldCat Resource Sharing, a new button appears at the top of the screen that automatically links from WorldCat Resource Sharing to the WorldCat Services administrative module. The administrative module will open in another window. Users do not have to re-enter their authorization and password and are taken to the resource sharing administrative module landing page just as if they had logged into the administrative module directly with their resource sharing authorization/password.

Constant Data persistence made optional - In the administrative module, users can now decide whether or not Constant Data should act persistently. Unless users make a change, and turn off persistence, Constant Data will continue to work as it always has.

For additional information about these enhancements, please contact Jon Penn at Nylink.
