OLIB
OLIB is a highly configurable integrated library system that enables you to customise all areas of library management to reflect your local requirements.
We're discontinuing OLIB on 31 December 2023.
OCLC support and OCLC support documentation updates will end on 31 December 2023. The support documentation will remain on help-it.oclc.org until 31 December 2024, so we encourage you to export any useful pages before then.
To export a support page as a PDF:
- Click the Export page as PDF button () on the page you want to export. The page opens as a PDF file in a new tab.
- From the PDF file tab, click the Download button (). The Save As dialog opens on your computer.
- From the Save As dialog:
- (Optional) Rename the file. By default, the page name will be the file name.
- Select a location on your computer and then click Save.
