What is WorldCat?
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.
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
*
You may need to have an active offline membership with a WorldCat library to
view/download content or check out materials through its Web site.
What will I find?

used to getting from libraries. You can also discover many new kinds of digital
content, such as downloadable audiobooks.
