Content and Collections

OCLC provides libraries with a wide variety of electronic resources in a number of different formats. Easy access through local catalogs and on the Web helps libraries simplify the collection development process while improving discovery and delivery. Materials from each content service—FirstSearch, Electronic Collections Online, CAMIO and ArchiveGrid—also benefit from enhanced, unified access through WorldCat.org and WorldCat Local. The improved search and user interface features of WorldCat help connect information seekers to local materials and to other libraries around the world.
