OCLC, Online Computer Library Center, Inc.
The products and services provided by OCLC have not changed; however many of the internal processes for purchasing and approval are now the responsibility of OCLC. All product and services support is available by direct communication with OCLC at 1-800-848-5800 or support@oclc.org. Transfer Pay is still the primary option, but Direct Express is now available. Members will still be required to follow federal procurement regulations so that they do not spend more than has been authorized, but OCLC will be assuming responsibility for verifying that sufficient funds have been authorized before accepting an order.
More information on the changes to the process can be found here along with a list of contacts, FAQs, and other helpful documentation.
If you have questions, please contact Holly Kerwin at hnic@loc.gov.
