OCLC TO EXTEND PRISM SERVICE AVAILABILITY



DUBLIN, Ohio, May 25, 1993--OCLC will extend PRISM service hours beginning

July 11. The PRISM service will be available Sundays from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Eastern time--3 p.m. to 8 p.m. on the West Coast.

"Extending PRISM service hours is an important step toward our goal of

making OCLC products and services available around the clock, around the

world," said Phyllis Bova Spies, OCLC vice president, marketing and sales.

The extended PRISM service will impact users worldwide. While those in the

continental United States will have more time Sunday afternoon and evening to

access PRISM service, libraries in the Asia Pacific region will have PRISM

service available most of the Monday workday. For users in Japan, the extended

PRISM service hours are 7 a.m. to noon Monday.

In addition to the new Sunday hours, the PRISM service will continue to be

available Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m.

to 8 p.m. Eastern time.

The extended hours also apply to the OCLC CJK-Plus System, the Linked

Systems Project, Name-Address Directory, and Union Listing.

OCLC is a nonprofit computer library service and research organization

whose computer network and services link more than 16,000 libraries in 47

countries and territories.
