Question 1

What is OCLC's uptime?

Accepted Answer

Over the last 90 days, OCLC reported 99.68% uptime on its official status page. That figure is calculated from the public incident timeline at https://oclc.service-now.com/status — each minute of degraded, partial-outage, or major-outage status counts against the total.

Question 2

Has OCLC had outages in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Yes — OCLC has had 65 incidents reported on its official status page so far in 2026. The full timeline (start times, durations, components affected) is shown above on this page. Pingoru re-checks the status page every 5 minutes so the count stays current.

Question 3

When was the last OCLC outage?

Accepted Answer

The most recent OCLC incident was "WorldCat Discovery, WorldShare Acquisitions, WorldShare Circulation, WorldShare Collection Manager, WorldShare Indexing, WorldShare Interlibrary Loan, WorldShare License Manager, WorldShare Record Manager, WorldShare Reports and Report Designer", which started on September 15, 2026 and was resolved on September 15, 2026. Pingoru captured this directly from https://oclc.service-now.com/status. See the full incident card above for affected components and the update timeline.

Question 4

How often does OCLC have outages?

Accepted Answer

Based on the last 90 days, OCLC averages 21.7 reported incidents per month on its official status page. Pingoru tracks each one with start time, duration, severity, and affected components — so you can see the pattern at a glance instead of digging through the vendor's archive.

Question 5

Where is OCLC's status page?

Accepted Answer

OCLC's official status page is https://oclc.service-now.com/status. Pingoru polls it every 5 minutes and renders the same data here, alongside every other cloud or SaaS provider you depend on — so you can spot multi-vendor incidents (e.g. AWS + Stripe + Cloudflare degrading at the same minute) without flipping between tabs.

Question 6

Is OCLC down right now?

Accepted Answer

OCLC is up. Pingoru checks the official status page every 5 minutes and flips this headline the moment OCLC reports a change. Current status is based on 31 tracked services.

Question 7

How does Pingoru know if OCLC is down?

Accepted Answer

We read https://oclc.service-now.com/status directly, using OCLC's own status page. If the vendor reports an incident, you see it within one check cycle — not after someone manually marks the page as down.

Question 8

Where can I get notified when OCLC has an outage?

Accepted Answer

Create a free Pingoru account and add OCLC as a monitor. You can filter to specific services, pick severity thresholds, and route alerts via email, Slack, Discord, or a webhook.

Question 9

OCLC's status page says the service is up, but I'm having issues — what's wrong?

Accepted Answer

Three common reasons:

• A real OCLC incident that hasn't been acknowledged on their public status page yet — vendor status pages are updated manually and typically lag the first customer reports by 10–30 minutes.
• A regional or account-scoped issue affecting a subset of customers — these rarely trigger a global status-page change.
• A local problem: ISP / DNS / your own software. Try reproducing from a mobile data connection and from a different network to isolate.

If you suspect a real OCLC issue that isn't reflected yet, contact their support to escalate. Subscribing here means you get the alert the moment they do post an update.

Question 10

Where does Pingoru get the official OCLC status?

Accepted Answer

We use OCLC's own status page at https://oclc.service-now.com/status and cross-reference their homepage (https://www.oclc.org/en/home.html). Nothing is read in a way the vendor hasn't explicitly made public — we use the same data their own dashboard uses. So our data is as accurate as what you'd see loading the status page yourself, but rolled into one dashboard alongside every other service you depend on.

Question 11

What does "Up" mean?

Accepted Answer

All tracked OCLC components are reporting operational. No incidents are currently affecting service.
