OCLC Databases: New Platform is Live

For institutions that subscribe to the OCLC FirstSearch base package (academic and public libraries), the FirstSearch databases have now been migrated to the new, mobile-friendly platform. Now that OCLC allows databases to be searched at the same time, we have added a link for OCLC Databases, which will search all of the OCLC resources.

Here are the Express Links:

OCLC Databases

Please note that this defaults to a search of all of the former FirstSearch databases listed below as well as CAMIO and ArchiveGrid. In Advanced Search, users can choose which databases to search.

ArchiveGrid and CAMIO will continue to utilize their unique interfaces:

ClasePeriodica
OCLC has told us that ClasePeriodica is not available on the new OCLC platform and will be discontinued in December. For now, it will continue to utilize the old FirstSearch platform until it is removed your GALILEO menus in December 2014.

Holdings for Institutions with Cataloging Subscription
OCLC has changed how authentication is handled. Institutions now have an institution-specific URL that allows users to search your OCLC resources all at once. For institutions with a cataloging subscription, your holdings will be listed first in search results.

If you have any questions or need to report a problem, please use the GALILEO Contact Us form (http://www.galileo.usg.edu/contact) or contact the ITS Help Desk at helpdesk@usg.edu or 1-888-875-3697.
