When Sam sends me additional logging in information I’ll post it to the blog.
We’re getting lots of questions about when is the first day you can use WorldCat Resource Sharing or CatExpress.
I hope to have your authorizations and passwords by the end of this week and will email them to you as soon as I get them. They will NOT activate until October 1.
We would like you to stop putting requests on OLTN on September 25th so we can refer everything that is there. We will have our refresher classes the first two weeks in October. There will be 2 sessions for Resource Sharing and 2 sessions for CatExpress.
, they will repeat. Sam Sayre will conduct the sessions, they will be on the computer and I’ll send you a logon and information prior to the sessions.
Remember STOP OLTN requests on September 25th and start WorldCat on October 1.
Here is a list of the current Oklahoma OCLC WorldCat Libraries that you will be joining in October.

I’ve returned from a week of vacation and want to Thank Everyone for your participation in the OCLC workshops.
Now as my boss would say, “Just take a deep breath”. You will get your authorizations and passwords to WorldCat Resource Sharing and CatExpress before October 1. You can begin anytime after October 1 but we will schedule refresher sessions with Sam on the first and second week of October (unless he has a scheduling conflict). You may want to wait until after the refresher session, it’s your choice. I will be out of the office from October 1 to October 6th, so please everyone don’t call Melecia on the First with a problem!
Also DON”T WORRY about your holdings getting into WorldCat, this is a library by library process and you can go ahead and request on interlibrary loan without your holdings showing up in WorldCat. We’ll eventually get everyone’s holdings into OCLC, don’t worry that your holdings aren’t in by October 1st.
I think you all did very well at the workshops and if you haven’t filled out your surveys, please complete both.
Thanks again Kitty
You should have received an email from me if you are going to Woodward for the training. It will be at the High Plains Technology Center.

See you there, Kitty
Thursday and Friday is OSU-Tulsa Library.

Hope to see everyone signed up for Oklahoma City on the 18th and 19th. I just picked Sam up from the airport and he is ready to train and meet everyone. I will have CE credits for everyone attending in the future, those who have already been trained will receive an email from me with the CE attached.
I do need for everyone after attending the class to fill out a Survey Monkey questionaire so I can report back to the Office of Library Development and IMLS (Institute for Museum and Library Services)
Survey for Resource Sharing Click Here to take survey
For CatExpress Click Here to take survey
I talked to Pat Williams and if I can figure out an evaluation form and get an agenda from Sam, you’ll be on your way to getting CE credits for the OCLC training classes. I may try Survey Monkey for the evaluation, but I’ll keep you posted.
Kitty
This morning Melecia is taking out your preferred and system lender lists in OLTN to include only YOCL our referral code. We will refer all you requests to keep them from being processed in OLTN any longer. This will speed things along as more and more libraries are no longer in OLTN. We’re asking the current OCLC libraries to not fill on OLTN and only fill on OCLC for now.
Melecia went in as your library and made these changes so you shouldn’t have to do anything the request will automatically come to us.
Hi everyone, We had a great time in Ardmore, hope the participants did as well. Because there will be some time between when you can actually start using Resource Sharing and CatExpress and your training, Sam is graciously offering webinars to refresh our memories closer to the October 1 “go live” date. I’ll post on the blog as soon as we determine these dates.
Also the time for each Training: They will all begin at 9:00 and Resource Sharing will end before 4:00 and CatExpress at 12:00. I may have one extra person than computers for the 18th and 19th, so if someone would volunteer to share a computer those days it would be great. We can work something out when you get here.
I hope you will enjoy the training. I think you will find OCLC easy and manageable and I can’t wait for us to get started.
Kitty
