In this chapter This chapter contains the following topics: Subject Page Overview x Content History xi Typographic Conventions xii Availability xiii Acknowledgments xiv ix Overview Purpose OCLC WorldCat Resource Sharing User Guide presents detailed information for using the OCLC WorldCat Resource Sharing service (WCRS). Scope Although interlibrary loans can be initiated for materials found in most FirstSearch databases, this Guide assumes that library staff are working in the WorldCat database, which is available to all WorldCat Resource Sharing users. Using this Guide In WorldCat Resource Sharing, you act as either Borrower or Lender depending upon the task at hand. This Guide assumes you know which role you play for any given resource sharing transaction. Audiences This Guide serves 3 levels of WorldCat Resource Sharing audiences: z Novice users who need to learn the functionality of the system z Intermediate users who need a reference for tasks they do not perform regularly z Advanced users who train (or provide support for) other interlibrary loan users and need support material Screen illustrations Screen displays shown in this document are taken from OCLC development environments; these environments are typically limited in scope. Although the names of real OCLC member libraries are often shown, the associated data is displayed for demonstration purposes only and is not in any way meant to be an accurate representation of their holdings. Related The list of additional WorldCat Resource Sharing documentation is found on the documentation OCLC Web site at: http://www.oclc.org/support/documentation/resourcesharing/ default.htm. x WorldCat Resource Sharing User Guide Content History This document replaces the OCLC Interlibrary Loan Service User Guide.
