Monday August 07, 2006 OCLC's WorldCat.org search service in now live. The search response is super fast, the interface is very clean, and they even have faceted search refinement functionality across five dimensions (Author, Content, Format, Language, Year). For an initial release this is impressive.
The ability to search across the collections of 18,000 libraries is impressive. The Find in a Library feature allows you to check to see if your local library has a copy of the item. I am interested in the evolution of WorldCat localization services. For users with a known library affiliation (e.g. undergrads), can WorldCat do more than Find in a Library?
