* Customized record delivery scheduling

* Delete records if titles are removed from your holdings

In this webinar, you will learn how to:

 

* Create a WorldShare account (if you don’t already have one)

Circulation: You will see how to easily use the account management functions, including check-in, check-out and renewals, as well as integrated hold and fine management. We will demonstrate how the services track availability and holds in real time, enabling you to generate a pull list on demand.
