We do like the "discoverability" of all of that content. It also works well with Ezproxy and with Illiad. We could not afford to pay for both an OPAC and a discovery tool and that was part of the reason that we went with OCLC. We do use the A to Z list for discovering serial content within the catalog search but we still keep a URL linker and journal listing source called Journal Finder (very reasonable in cost). Part of our reason to continue to use JF was because we are in the middle of several accreditation applications and having a source that gives us easily retrievable serial information is important.<br>

A local University (UNCG - Jackson library) in Greensboro, uses the WMS A to Z list and if you would like to see what that looks like you could google the site and take a look.<br>

Subject: Re: [Eril-l] Serials Solutions 360 Link vs WMS Discovery<br>
<span class=""><br>
I am also interested in this. I am a new electronic resources librarian in a newly created position, although I have worked in my library for six years. We have used Serials Solutions for several years, but people have found it frustrating. Several of us attended an OCLC Member Forum last fall and were intrigued with what we heard about WMS.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Has anyone out there signed up with OCLC WMS Discovery, and decided to drop Serials Solutions 360 Link (or any other link resolver)? Or decided to keep both? In either case, what were the pros & cons?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
