Learn how to manage IP address ranges and attributes for your OCLC products and services.

To access this screen, sign in Service Configuration, open the IP Addresses left navigation, select Manage IP Addresses.

Use this screen to manage IP address ranges and attributes for OCLC products and services to authenticate users within the designated range.

  • WorldCat.org and WorldCat Discovery use the IP address module to determine when to show fulfillment options to users within an institution's IP network.
  • WorldShare Interlibrary Loan institutions using third-party discovery systems use IP authentication to access the WorldShare ILL request form via OpenURL Resolver. 

The institutions for which you are authorized are listed in the drop-down box. When you select your institution, the IP Address Ranges and IP Address Range Attributes fields are populated. If you are authorized for multiple institutions, you must select the institution for which you want to edit IP addresses.
