Exploring and accessing rare collections can be a challenge. That’s why Columbia University turned to FirstSearch to catalog and showcase their vast Judaica collection. Searching WorldCat on FirstSearch offers precise search capabilities, enabling Columbia’s librarians to find unique and rare materials with ease. Features like unclustered results, language-specific searches, and support for non-Roman scripts are revolutionary. Additionally, interlibrary loan requests make these resources accessible to researchers worldwide. ⤵️ Click below to discover how Columbia University is using FirstSearch. #OCLCmembers https://oc.lc/45o1pXA

Big Ten Academic Alliance (BTAA) libraries are now live using the new OCLC Resource Sharing for Groups, the state-of-the-art solution that reimagines resource sharing for library groups and consortia. OCLC Resource Sharing for Groups is a modern consortial borrowing solution that expedites delivery of digital and print items to library users. Participating libraries have all the tools needed to easily lend and borrow resources from group members. "We are pleased with the successful migration to this new platform for UBorrow—not only for the parity and increased robustness it brings our communities of users today, but for the expanded options and possibilities we envision as we continue our pathway to uniting our separate collections into one, fully shared and fully networked," said Maurice York, BTAA Director of Library Initiatives. "We consider this new platform a fundamental part of our infrastructure renewal, a key component in preparing us to expand this fall to become a coast-to-coast Alliance." ⤵️ Click below to read more. #OCLCnews --- #OCLC #ResourceSharing #InterlibraryLoan #PublicLibrary #PublicLibraries #AcademicLibrary #AcademicLibraries #Library #Libraries #Librarian #Librarians #LibraryLife #LibraryLove

We value the opportunity to give back to our communities. Through our Operation Feed campaign, OCLC employees worked together to raise nearly $27,000 for the Mid-Ohio Food Collective through vacation, payroll, cash, and auction donations. Our employees also teamed up with The Pack Shack to host a #FeedTheFunnel event, packaging more than 40,000 meals for households in central and eastern Ohio. There’s a 144 million-meal gap in the 20-county region that the Mid-Ohio Food Collective serves. We’re proud to come together year after year to close that gap. Thank you to all of our employees who organized, worked, and donated to our campaign. 💙💚🧡 #LifeAtOCLC --- #OCLC #EndHunger #EngagedLibraries #OCLCemployees #BestPlacesToWork #Jobs #Hiring #Technology #TechJobs #PublicLibrary #PublicLibraries #AcademicLibrary #AcademicLibraries #Library #Libraries #Librarian #Librarians #LibraryLife #LibraryLove

#EngagedLibraries provide connection. 👫 It’s important for older adults to get opportunities to socialize and be active. Houston Public Library’s Senior Proms events provided them with that in a big and fun way. Hosted during Older Americans Month across several of their branch locations, the proms featured food, dancing, socializing, and a variety of fun activities. Check out the library’s social media pages to get inspired with photos and videos from the event, starting with the video linked below. 📲 We want to know how your library serves the needs of older adults. Share your story on social media by including #EngagedLibraries and tagging OCLC in your post. You could be featured in an upcoming issue of Abstracts, on our community engagement hub, in an upcoming blog or video, or across our social media channels. ⤵️ Click below to watch Houston's video. --- #OCLC #PublicLibrary #PublicLibraries #AcademicLibrary #AcademicLibraries #Library #Libraries #Librarian #Librarians #LibraryLife #LibraryLove
