I'm about to leave the library. How do I pass my OCLC permissions to someone new?
Applies to
- Online Service Center
- Service Configuration
Answer
When passing your permissions to someone new walk through the following list to make sure you catch everything.
- Create WorldShare accounts for anyone who needs one via the Admin tab in WorldShare, then assign the applicable roles.
- Change, add or delete any cataloging authorization numbers in the Access and Authorization site.
- To reassign names for FirstSearch, ILL, CAMIO, ECO and Archive Grid authorization numbers send an email to Orders@oclc.org with the authorization number, the new user's work email address and/or details on which permissions you want them to have.
- To make WorldCat Registry changes or other contact changes previously made in the Online Service Center, update your contact information.
- To reassign open service request tickets, send an email to OCLC Support.
- If you were doing Interlibrary Loan, make sure you update the Policies Directory Contacts list and any Constant Data forms that included your name and address.
