Welcome to the 'WorldCat corner' - here's what we're thinking...

As we mention in our group summary – we would like to create a space to chat with librarians about WorldCat.org. We will be asking questions about features we have, features we’re thinking about, and in general letting you know about cool things that we feel are important to librarians - and would like to hear back from you on what you think is important. From time to time, we may also be asking for your help in testing new features, adding new user generated content, etc.

If you have a minute, we’d love to hear from you…who you are and how you are currently using WorldCat - or even if you’re new to WorldCat and just visiting the group to learn more.

Thanks...We’re looking forward to working with you!

Hi Laura,

Even though I work for OCLC, I have to admit that I only recently started using WorldCat.org's personalized features. I'm writing a book about libraries and community building, and I've recently created a number of lists of resources related to that process. I expect to use the lists to create/extract the bibliography and additional resources for my publication (thank you in advance for this feature) and also will point people to these lists online from my book-related blog. So, that's how I'm using it - maybe will find other ways as well.

My one feature request? Remember me. I hate having to login every time.

Thanks for starting this group and I look forward to seeing how other librarians are using WorldCat.org.

I'd like to see:

-the ability to search within your lists
-the ability to be prompted that a title is already "listed" before you add it again
