Worldshare Management Services is a software solution that effectively solves business problems related to workflow management, database and collection management, and the acquisition of materials. According to users, the software is particularly useful for interlibrary loan requests, especially for materials not available from other online systems. With the ability to work in the database from anywhere, it helps to streamline operations by making it easy to manage users, share files, stay organized, and quickly pass on information to other workers.

Users appreciate the pre-made help tools and the ability to edit information and be connected to different libraries. The software is also effective in providing a good basic ILS for institutions that don't need advanced features. The discovery layer adds functionality to the catalog side and is more user-friendly than the previous version. Though some users have experienced issues with internet connection failures causing them to resort to pen-and-paper logging or manual input of data and patron account creation, overall, they find Worldshare Management Services easy to use, friendly, and helpful in streamlining operations for small teams of workers.
