How can I change my library's WorldCat Discovery or WorldShare URL?
Applies to
- WorldCat Discovery
- WorldShare ILL
- Tipasa
- WorldShare Management Services
Answer
If your library has changed its name, or for another reason would like to change the URL of its WorldShare or WorldCat Discovery instance, please contact OCLC Support with the following information:
- Your institution's OCLC symbol
- Your library's current WorldShare/WorldCat Discovery URL
- Your preferred new WorldShare/WorldCat Discovery URL
Please note: Any changes to the URL will apply to both WorldShare and WorldCat Discovery services. Any links you may have bookmarked or posted on your library website that have the old URL will not redirect to the new URL. You will need to manually update those links. While you wait for the URL switchover, you can always use your URL with your registry ID number, as this won't change. Examples:
[registryID].share.worldcat.org/wms
[registryID].on.worldcat.org
