Join WorldCat

Be a part of a unique cooperative system that reduces end-to-end information costs, keeps you on the leading edge of technology and library science, and inserts your content and services into the Web workspaces of a new generation. Here's how your library can be a part of WorldCat:

Components of WorldCat participation

  1. Contribute your holdings and other metadata via one or more of these OCLC services:

    You may also join or form a consortium or library service group that contributes its collective holdings to WorldCat.

    Contributing libraries are bound by OCLC's Principles of Cooperation and its associated guidelines.

  2. OPTIONAL: Subscribe to the WorldCat database on the FirstSearch reference service
    (Required for Web exposure of your holdings via WorldCat.org, Google, Yahoo! and other partner sites)

    Your library or library group enjoys the benefits of broad Web exposure when you give on-site and remotely authenticated patrons enhanced access to WorldCat through FirstSearch. (WorldCat on FirstSearch features advanced search capabilities and additional evaluative content.) Your subscription financially supports the costs associated with building and maintaining the open systems that spread WorldCat data around the Web.
