The OCLC universe is currently down affecting Interloans and Cataloguing services

Kia ora koutou

We have received word that a large number of OCLC services are unavailable this morning including:

  • FirstSearch
  • WorldCat
  • Interloans services including VDX, Z-Portal, Article Exchange and WorldShare ILL

In practical terms this means people will be unable to log in to make/check interloan requests or retrieve interloaned electronic articles from article exchange.

OCLC haven’t indicated how long they expect these issues to go on for.

One thought on “The OCLC universe is currently down affecting Interloans and Cataloguing services”

  1. Most systems appear to be back up now but there may still be some lingering issues around for interloans.
