Why? To make library materials findable on the open Web. WorldCat.org Make the entire WorldCat catalog available to users as an openly available service on the Web. Why?

WorldCat Local Customized for individual libraries and systems, closing the gap between discovery and delivery. Why? To emphasize local holdings and make it easier for users to find and get to resources that make the most sense for them.
