I just realized that not everyone at the desk has gotten the various emails about WorldCat Local and WorldCat Discovery.
Here's a summary. If you have questions, please ask your representative to the ILS committee (me!). If I don't know it, I'll check w/Terry.
On or around Weds June 6th our libraries will be moving from WorldCat Local to WorldCat Discovery (WCD)
- WCD is the next version of the catalog and discovery system from OCLC
- it searches the same stuff that WCL searches, it just looks a little different and has different links
- there's more info about WCD here: http://uncg.libguides.com/wcd
- the red search box will point to WorldCat Discovery
- permalinks in WorldCat Local will start pointing to WorldCat Discovery
- print/physical reserve lists will be in WorldCat Discovery
- it might be hard to get to lists of saved items in WorldCat Local, because your browser will try to make you go to WorldCat Discovery instead - go to www.worldcat.org and log in with your WorldCat account to view your saved lists
