WorldCat Resource Sharing Now Supports Both IE6 and IE7

WorldCat Resource Sharing now supports both IE6 and IE7. OCLC has completed testing and all known problems have been resolved. However you will need to modify your security settings in your browser and add oclc.org as a trusted site. Below are complete instructions for changing the security settings in IE 6 and IE7.

For IE6 the default setting for “Security Level for this Zone” is LOW, so users of IE6 only need to complete the second task of adding oclc.org as a trusted site.

• First, close down all active applications (including Outlook, Word, and all instances of IE, etc.)
• Open your browser
• Select the following options:
  • Click on the TOOLS menu
  • Open INTERNET OPTIONS
  • Go to the SECURITY TAB
  • Click on the TRUSTED SITES icon
  • Change “Security Level for this Zone” to LOW with the Slider Bar (Default Level is Medium)
    LOW IS THE PREFERRED SETTING, but MEDIUM LOW will work
  • Next select the SITES button and add *.oclc.org to the trusted sites.
  • Make sure the “Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone” is UNCHECKED.
  • If the box is checked when you enter *.oclc.org in the trusted sites, you will get a warning “Sites added to this zone must use the https:// prefix.” This prefix assures a secure connection.
    • Click on the OK button
    • UNCHECK the box
    • Add again.
  •
  • Click on CLOSE
  •
  • Click on OK to exit from menu
  •
  • Close your browser
  •
  • Open your browser
