OCLC Membership

OCLC Membership refers to libraries and institutions joining the OCLC cooperative to access and contribute to a global library network. Members share cataloging data, resources, and services to improve efficiency, discoverability, and resource sharing. By collaborating, they can more easily locate materials, manage collections, and support research. Membership provides access to OCLC's extensive databases, tools, and services that enhance library operations and user experience. Essentially, it’s a partnership that helps libraries work together, reduce costs, and better serve their communities through shared knowledge and resources.
