Your authorizations and passwords will be sent by email and mail to you from OCLC. They assure me you will have them before October 1.
I’ll post the login information for the refreshers next week. So pencil in the dates and get ready to log in.
We’ll get there. Again don’t worry about your holdings being in WorldCat, that process will take some time and you will be able to do Interlibrary Loan starting October 1. (Don’t everyone call Melecia the first day!)
Need your Local Automation System and number of Holdings.
Please just comment here or send me an email.
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
