I am having trouble sharing a collection with an individual institution.

Symptom
  • When I enter the information into the sharing field and hit add, I get a notification that it is “Sharing with libraries…” but when the notification goes away, the collection has not been shared. 

Applies to
  • WorldShare Collection Manager 
Resolution

By clicking "add" you are adding that specific institution to the list of institutions that currently have access to the collection.  This means that the specified institution still has to select the collection in their WorldShare Collection Manager.

Additional information

It may take between 24-48 hours after the sharing selection has occurred on both ends for the collection to display as shared.
