OCLC Training

OCLC now offers free, live-online and self-paced training for many courses that cover Cataloging, Resource Sharing and FirstSearch services.

Advances in distance learning technologies and the increased demand for online learning have allowed us to offer more training while affording greater economies of scale. This makes it possible to pass these savings on to OCLC members by offering free training on the services members rely on most.

All OCLC members can take full advantage of OCLC training and learning opportunities. OCLC trainers and training partners—Amigos, as well as WiLS, Minitex, MLNC, MCLS, OHIONET and LYRASIS—will continue to offer a wide variety of classes and learning opportunities to help OCLC members refresh or maintain skills, ensure effective use of OCLC subscription services, and learn new applications to help members leverage their investments in the cooperative. Some of the partner-led courses will continue to be offered for a fee, at prices set by OCLC training partners.
