SCELC Vendor Day 2004

OCLC

FirstSearch
FirstSearch is an online service that gives library professionals and end users access to a rich collection of reference databases. With FirstSearch, materials in your library's collection are highlighted in results from searches in dozens of leading databases. During the SCELC Vendor day we will cover--5 ways to get the most out of FirstSearch.

Contentdm
If your library is thinking about digital collections, you should think about CONTENTdm as the means to make those collections a virtual reality. Setting industry standards for digital collection management, CONTENTdm provides tools for everything from organizing and managing to publishing and searching digital collections over the Internet.

NetLibrary
OCLC's netLibrary provides academic, public, special and school libraries with eContent solutions that support web-based research, reference and learning. Proven in more than 8,500 libraries worldwide, netLibrary pioneered the eBook category and continues to offer the only comprehensive approach to building and managing eContent collections.

QuestionPoint
QuestionPoint is a unique virtual reference service for library users. While QuestionPoint takes advantage of the Internet, it goes beyond the limitations of the Web to incorporate libraries' best reference techniques, and to answer questions using all the available resources of member libraries, not just the digital ones.

Group Services
OCLC Services for Groups include a centralized union catalog, unlimited access to cataloging and resource sharing, plus a customized FirstSearch interface. OCLC hosts the solution while you maintain control over all operations. Every library in your group and subgroups-regardless of size, type or current OCLC membership status-can participate in the group catalog.
