migration by 31 March 2016. The current service to manage your EBSCO
collections will be discontinued after March 2016. You will receive another
communication to inform you when your collections are available to enable MARC
record delivery.
To aid you in this change, we are providing a free webinar on Monday, November
23rd at 10:00 AM EST as an opportunity to address questions you may have
related to this change.
In these webinars, you will see how to:
• Create a WorldShare account (if you don’t already have one)
• Set up your EBSCO profile in WorldShare Collection
Manager
• Enable MARC record delivery for EBSCO titles
• Define record editing and delivery options
for your EBSCO titles
