AB postsecondary libraries to transition to new cloud-based system this spring

Nine Alberta postsecondary institution libraries—members of the NEOS Library Consortium—will switch to a cloud-based system this spring as part of their move to OCLC’s Worldshare Management Services. The postsecondary institutions making this transition are Burman University, Concordia University of Edmonton, Keyano College, Northern Lakes College, Northwestern Polytechnic, Olds College of Agriculture and Technology, Red Deer Polytechnic, The King’s University, and Vanguard College. “Our students, faculty, and staff will benefit from a modern library catalogue that accurately displays our library holdings, provides seamless access to our collection, and allows for more sophisticated search options,” said RDP Dean of Students Kristine Plastow. “In addition, our members will benefit from a new and larger pool of Interlibrary Loan partners.”
