WMS library staff guide

An overview of some of the main functions and features in the WMS library system. A combination of OCLC support materials and the longer training sessions that OCLC provided during the implementation. Ths guide is for library staff and not library users.

Circulation training

The OCLC circulation training video (65 minutes) and slides can be viewed on Sharepoint. If you have any difficulty accessing the link, please request access via Sharepoint. As we were still in the implementation phase when the recording was made, the configuration of holds in WMS is likely to change slightly before the live date. The process will be confirmed soon.

The shorter videos below cover most of the same functionality in smaller sections.

Details about circulation policies will be added to this guide shortly.

Creating patron records

Guidance for library staff on creating patron records in the system is available on Sharepoint. This only applies to SCONUL, NHS and other external user accounts. Any missing staff or student records should be reported to Servicedesk.
