About OCLC WorldShare Management Services

The OCLC WorldShare™ Platform facilitates collaboration and app-sharing across the library community, so that libraries can combine library-built applications, partner-built applications and OCLC-built applications. This enables the benefits of each single solution to be shared broadly throughout the library community.

The first services built on this new technical infrastructure are Webscale Management Services, which have been rebranded as OCLC WorldShare™ Management Services, and include circulation, acquisitions and license management applications.
