Your library’s WorldCat Local “quick start” site has been set up using either screen scraping or Z39.50, based on information OCLC obtained about your library using public sources. If your library has an Ex Libris Aleph system, Z39.50 was used to establish interoperability. For most other library systems, OCLC used screen scraping. Your “quick start” site will be maintained using the method originally set up for it.
