The University of Delaware Library is switching to the cloud-based OCLC WorldShare Management Services. Some 33 libraries have begun using OCLC WorldShare Management Services since its launch in July 2011 (as Web-scale Management Services; OCLC rebranded it in December 2011). Some 117 libraries worldwide have committed to using the service. However the University of Delaware Library is the first academic research library and the first member of the 126-library Association of Research Libraries(ARL) to implement WorldShare.
