The following are user-created applications that utilize WorldCat Registry.

Author’s Works, Check Nearby Libraries
Links from the local catalog that help the user find more works by the same author through a link to WorldCat Identities, and a link to find the item in nearby libraries through linking to WorldCat.org via the permalink for each item—the OCLC number.

Also Available at a WorldCat Library
Created at the May 2009 WorldCat Mashathon in Amsterdam, the “Also available at” sidebar in the Wageningen UR Library Catalogue development site uses the WorldCat Search API and the WorldCat Registry OpenURL Gateway to display a location-sensitive listing for other WorldCat libraries who also hold the item.

LouFind
LouFind uses the WorldCat Search API—including citation—and the WorldCat Registry to find libraries near Brandeis. It helps users determine who holds the book, and provides detailed location information on each library, which is then fed to the Google Maps API. LouFind is written in PHP.
