A couple tips about bookmarking community pages:</p> <ul> <li>Bookmark the URL of the community center page you wish to visit (e.g., https://community.oclc.org/ or https://community.oclc.org/t5/worldshare-acquisitions/ct-p/acquisitions” ). Any time you access this bookmark, you will be prompted to sign in if you are not already signed in to WorldShare.</li> <li>Do not bookmark the sign-in page where you enter your WorldShare credentials (e.g., https://yourlibrary.authn.worldcat.org/login/manageduser-ui/cmnd/useraction/login?acsURL=https%3A%2F%2Fauthn.sd00.worldcat.org%2Fwayf%2Fmetaauth-ui%2Fcmnd%2Fprotocol%2Facs%2Fsaml2&controllerMethod=samlpost).
