WorldCat Search API
Mobile WorldCat Local
Hello!
I am creating a mobile site for our library.
http://libguides.philau.edu/m
On this site, I have embedded a WorldCat Local searchbox...I would love to have this search box route users to the mobile version of worldcat Local.
http://philau.worldcat.org/m/
Is there anyway to get the search box to search the mobile version of worldcat local?
Here is the code I use to search articles in WCL
Thanks for any help!

Planned downtime for WorldCat APIs on September 18
On Sunday, September 18 there will be a scheduled service downtime for the WorldCat Search API and WorldCat Basic API service from 1:00 a.m.
until at least 8:00 a.m. Eastern time (-4 GMT). This temporary service interruption is required so we can upgrade software that supports the WorldCat API.
We endeavor to have as little downtime as possible; this downtime is necessary.
Best regards,

WorldCat Search API enhancements and bug fixes
Hello WorldCat Search API Implementers
The WorldCat Search API has been updated with these bug fixes and enhancements.
New Open Digital Limit
The new Open Digital Limit is available through the SRU queries. This limit returns records describing digital content contributed to WorldCat from open access digital repositories. Records contain URLs that point to the digital file.
The searchable values are:
ISBN, ISSN, and LCCN bug with FRBRgrouping
I'm sorry to say there is a bug in the ISBN, ISSN, and LCCN SRU queries. They do not put results in a FRBRgrouping. The results of any ISBN, ISSN or LCCN query will get you all bibliographic records when it should give you the default result of FRBRgrouping=on which tends to be a single record, even with an SRU query. When the system is working correctly, there are times when there may be more than one edition using the same ISBN, but it isn't that common.
All other SRU queries does work correctly.
OCLC’s WorldCat Search API will be down early Sunday November 7th and 14th
