WorldCat http://www.worldcat.org   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.


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 abstracts and 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.


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
*	Link to "Ask a Librarian" and other services at your library
*	Post your review of an item, or contribute factual information about
it
