It's not too late to order a 2019 WISCAT license for your library! A license remains $200 per calendar year per library code for access to all WISCAT functionality. Are you unfamiliar with WISCAT or unsure how it could help your library? Consider the following:
- WISCAT has had a fill rate of 93% over the past 5 years. That's right, for every 100 ILL requests placed through WISCAT, 93 of those requests resulted in patrons getting their desired title, from copies of journal articles, to A/V, to kits for book clubs, and much more. If your patrons need something your library or system doesn't own, there's a good chance it can be found through WISCAT!
- WISCAT isn't just interlibrary loan. The WISCAT platform also offers the ability to download MARC records for use in your local catalogs.
- WISCAT provides resources to help you make the most of the platform. From documentation, to support via email and phone, to user group meetings and trainings, the WISCAT team can help you and your staff understand the ins and outs of the platform.
