The OCLC WorldMap is a prototype system that provides an interactive tool for selecting and displaying international library holdings represented in WorldCat, as well as publishing, library, cultural heritage and population data.

The OCLC WorldMap allows users to select countries of interest, then to compare various library holding and data by country. WorldMap will generate interactive graphs that compare several different kinds of data for up to four countries at a time.

The new WorldCat Facebook application provides access to WorldCat searches and user-created lists from personalized pages within a Facebook account.

• a "Something to Read" panel that displays books recently added to WorldCat lists; and
• a "Favorite WorldCat Lists" panel where users track their own lists or those of other WorldCat users.
