Open WorldCat Deep
Linking Tutorial Available
In order to help libraries get the most out
of the Open WorldCat program and other OCLC services
like FirstSearch, OCLC has posted a very useful tutorial
on Deep Linking. Open WorldCat can help drive users
to libraries and increase circulation if they are
setup to support Deep Linking.
Deep Linking helps users navigate all the way to
a specific record in the library online catalog after
finding the item through internet search engines.
Some libraries are already set up to support this,
others just need to fill out a simple form which should
just take a few minutes.
