Library Technology Guides

OCLC has been working with nine public and academic libraries to develop an easy-to-use integrated gateway to library resources so that libraries will have a single, locally-customized Web-based user interface for OCLC and non-OCLC resources, including FirstSearch, non-OCLC Z39.50 databases, and the local patron access catalog. The product will be launched in the second quarter of 2000.

A library will be able to select resources to be accessed, choose the interface look and feel, and build the links between local and remote resources using wizards. A connection to the OCLC WebExpress Service Center will make WebExpress- an evolving service, rather than a fixed software product.
