WorldCat Discovery updates - saved lists can now be made public

Hi folks,

In July OCLC gave a webinar for librarians about WorldCat Discovery updates.  Some highlights -


1. Saved lists now has a toggle to make your list public
  • you'll get a link to share
  • Our WCD libguide will soon include info on how to make your private lists public
2. Author names
  • “by author” link in results used to link to a name index
  • now links to a name phrase index and formats the author name to try to get a better match
3. If you click from basic search results to an advanced search, your keywords are filled in for you on the advanced search page

For more WCD news, check out 
  • Terry's blog
  • Roadmap for updates planned through early 2019 (some won't be applicable to our library)

Thanks,
Lea
