2 New Reports from OCLC!
As part of its “Meeting the Challenge” series, OCLC have released two new reports looking at optimizing library technology ROI and creating impact. Details of the reports are below with information on how to access them.
Optimizing Your Library’s Return on Technology Investment
This report documents conversations between OCLC and six library leaders about tensions between delivering innovation in a fiscally challenging environment. Some are case studies from libraries that have purchased services from OCLC. Others are more general, offering perspectives on impactful trends and drivers related to library technologies.

Creating Library Impact through New Forms of Engagement
Searching online and searching within the library catalogue are two disparate forms of content discovery, which is providing libraries with a new challenge. This report considers this through a number of case studies from interviews with key stakeholders and looks at the key mechanisms that enhance the communication of resources between the library and the user. Areas covered include discovery needs and tools, data exchange and analysis, library visibility, syndication and systems integration.
