CloudLibrary^™ lets libraries build and share ebook and eaudiobook collections and provide library users access to digital magazines, newspapers, comics, graphic novels, and manga.

CloudLibrary’s unique content sharing program, CloudLink^™, is a budget-friendly way to expand the breadth and depth of your ebook and eaudiobook collection. You’ll increase circulation of lesser-used titles, and decrease hold times on popular materials by working with other CloudLink libraries in your state.

Your users will love having access to popular content with shorter hold times. And they can binge all the magazines, comics, and manga they want with unlimited, simultaneous access.

Offer instant access to millions of ebooks and eaudiobooks with our streamlined app. Users can also benefit from neighboring libraries’ collections through CloudLink, allowing you to affordably expand your digital offerings and meet users’ needs with reduced waiting times.

Taking Our Pulse: The OCLC Research Survey of Special Collections and Archives

1 October 2020

Jackie M. Dooley, Katherine Luce

Special collections and archives are increasingly seen as elements of distinction that serve to differentiate an academic or research library from its peers.

The balance sheet is both encouraging and sobering.

You’ve Got to Walk Before You Can Run: First Steps for Managing Born-Digital Content Received on Physical Media

1 August 2020

Ricky Erway

This report is intended for anyone who doesn’t know where to begin in managing born-digital materials. It errs on the side of simplicity and describes what is truly necessary to start managing born-digital content on physical media, and it presents a list of the basic steps without expanding on archival theory or the use of particular software tools. It does not assume that policies are in place or that those performing the tasks are familiar with traditional archival practices, nor does it assume that significant IT support is available.
