WorldShare License Manager is used to keep all license information from all vendors in one centralized, cloud-based system. It is used to more easily maintain your library’s active licenses and renew licenses that get the most use.
Once you have represented e-resource collections and databases as knowledge base collections in Collection Manager, create licenses and assign the collections to licenses.
Once you have established your licenses and templates, you can edit, clone, renew, share (for institutions with Group aware), or configure alerts to continue to maintain and alter your information as needed.
See how to configure terms of use in License Manager and create a deflection policy to deflect lending requests from knowledge base collections in Collection Manager. Instructions are included for both WorldShare Interlibrary Loan and Tipasa libraries.
Search for your vendor. If the vendor isn't available, create a new vendor and publish the vendor's information so other libraries can use it. Use vendor information with your Acquisitions workflows.
Find WorldShare License Manager release notes and known issues. Release notes are documents that contain information about new product features and enhancements as installed in scheduled releases.
Find more information about the Community Center. Current License Manager product users may join the OCLC Community Center to connect with peers and OCLC staff on product workflows, attend webinars, and provide feedback on the product.
