<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Assumption College uses 360 Link 2.0 and WorldCat Discovery. We only use WorldCat Discovery because it is free with our OCLC cataloging subscription,
so we are just testing it out (though it is the prominent search box on our homepage). 360 Link works fine in WorldCat Discovery. The only difficulty is when people report a bad link—sometimes it is difficult to figure out if the problem is for ProQuest
(link resolver), OCLC (citation data), or vendor (citation data). <o:p></o:p></span></p>

journal list and link resolver has to be duplicated in the OCLC knowledge base, which powers WorldCat Discovery. (To be clear, we use WorldCat Discovery as a full discovery layer for books, e-books, articles, etc. You can use WorldCat Discovery just as a
replacement for WorldCat FirstSearch to find books outside your library, but I do not think that is what you are asking.) <o:p></o:p></span></p>

360 Link and use all OCLC systems. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">HPU has been with WMS since 2011. 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>
<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>

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>

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>
