Friends/

I recently discovered that OCLC has created a WorldCat Facebook App:

"WorldCat is the world's largest network of library content and services. WorldCat libraries are dedicated to providing access to their resources on the Web, where most people start their search for information.

What am I searching?

WorldCat.org lets you search the collections of libraries in your community and thousands more around the world. WorldCat grows every day thanks to the efforts of librarians and other information professionals.

With WorldCat.org you can:

Search many libraries at once for an item and then locate it in a library nearby

Find books, music, and videos to check out* Find research articles and digital items (like audiobooks) that can be directly viewed or downloaded

Link to "Ask a Librarian" and other services at your library

Post your review of an item, or contribute factual information about it "

For Screenshots and Links to the App, Please Visit
