Breakthroughs rely on continuous sharing of and access to knowledge. Libraries across the world have been brought closer together through the work of OCLC and its member libraries. We facilitate the sharing of the world’s collected knowledge to make these breakthroughs possible.

Libraries have collaborated for decades to create shared catalogs that could support wider access to knowledge in efficient ways. As the costs of maintaining shared catalogs has risen, the arrival of cloud-based technology has created an opportunity to work in a networked environment without expensive IT support.

OCLC is leading the way with the introduction of Syndeo^®, a suite of services that facilitate national and regional library collaboration. Find out how you can become connected to this evolving network of global knowledge.

Because what is known must be shared.^®
