Upcoming WorldCat Discovery Training Classes
OCLC offers WorldCat® Discovery Services training in multiple formats. Instructor-led and self-paced training options, video tutorials and documentation provide the information you need to begin using WorldCat Discovery. Courses are available at no charge to OCLC member libraries. Dates and times for upcoming searching and configuration classes are provided below.
WorldCat Discovery Services will replace the OCLC FirstSearch service in late 2016. All libraries that provide access to the WorldCat database on FirstSearch can use WorldCat Discovery now as a part of their existing subscriptions. FirstSearch and WorldCat Discovery currently operate in parallel, to provide time for library staffs to become familiar with the new service.
Below are upcoming WorldCat Discovery instructor-led training classes on searching and configuration:
