BookMinder Android App

This prototype Android app uses the WorldCat Search API to get citations and nearby libraries for books. Users can scan a barcode or search for a title either by a keyword search or using the device’s support for voice recognition. Users can then select items to add to their personalized list of things. The mobile device’s GPS tells the app where the user is and the app uses that information and the Search API to find nearby libraries.

This would be fabulous if it synced with my myworldcat lists!

Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll pass it on to the staff in OCLC Research who developed this app.
