WorldCat WorldCat allows you to search the collections of over 40,000 libraries worldwide. The WorldCat database includes records from the major North American research libraries as well as a growing number of libraries in other countries. What is WorldCat? WorldCat is the largest network of library content and services. WorldCat libraries are dedicated to providing access to their resources on the Web, where the most people start their search for information. What I am searching? WorldCat.org lets you search the collections of libraries around the world. WorldCat grows everyday thanks to the efforts of librarians and other information professionals. WorldCat.org lets you: - 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
What will I find?You can search for popular books, music CDs and videos-all of the physical items you're used to getting from libraries. You can also discover many new kinds of digital content, such as downloadable audiobooks. You may also find article citations with links to their full text; authoritative research materials, such as documents and photos of local or historic significance; and digital versions of rare items that aren't available to the public. Because WorldCat libraries serve diverse communities in dozens of countries, resources are available in many languages.
