Texas A&M International University Library Launch of WorldShare Platform Featured on Local TV Newscast
We always find it interesting to read, view, and listen to how library technology news, in this case the launch of the WorldShare platform from OCLC by the Texas A&M International (TAMIU) University Library, is reported by the mainstream press.
The video report (embedded below) runs about two minutes and was broadcast Monday by KGNS-TV in Laredo, Texas.
From a Text Summary:
The “cloud” it’s a term used when computers share resources. The Killam library at TAMIU is transitioning to a new cloud system. Library director, Doug Ferrier says it will give users a better experience.
“You sit down at a computer log on and then you search by author, title subject or keyword and it will show all the material that’s available. It’s a very comprehensive system.”
