At the July WPLC meeting, there was an agenda item for expanded OCLC holdings:
“Currently titles purchased from OverDrive are set to show a single symbol in OCLC representing WPLC. It may be more effective to include symbols for OCLC public libraries in Wisconsin since they are more likely to be discovered by WorldCat users.”
Presently, WPLC has a subscription to get OCLC MARC records with holdings set:
The next meeting of the Wisconsin Public Library Consortium will be held Thursday, July 7, at 10:00 am. We will meet at South Central Library System in Madison and via GoTo Webinar. Connection information for those who prefer to attend remotely will be sent closer to the meeting date.
If you have a topic you would like to have placed on the agenda please send it to me by Monday morning, June 27. The Digital Media Funding Committee will issue its report in time for approval and the Budget Committee will also ask for approval of the 2012 budget.
A question recently came up about promotional materials for the Digital Download Center.
Here’re some brochures you can download from the OverDrive site:

note that you can substitute the URL for the DDC in the template (e.g., http://dbooks.wplc.info/)
