Partner programs for Web sites and online service providers

Add the power of WorldCat—the world's most comprehensive database of library-owned content and services—to your Web site or online service. Whether you're a bibliophile maintaining a small fan site, a book publisher with a Web store, or a major organization offering e-commerce, database or search functionality, you can help users connect to related information through the WorldCat.org interface.

Provide Web links to WorldCat Web results

Let your Web site's users locate a specific book or serial, or a range of materials connected to subject, title and author keywords, in a library near them. Using simple URL syntaxes that embed keywords or ISBN or ISSN standard numbers, you can publish or dynamically enable Web links to WorldCat search results or item records. (Syntaxes include specifications for geographic limiting and types of information displayed.) .

Download WorldCat records for harvesting

Get WorldCat data directly from OCLC for use in your search engine, database or other service. OCLC offers for harvesting more than four million records for the most widely-held library titles, plus hundreds of thousands of additional records for unique items. Harvested data links your users to Web-based WorldCat results.

WorldCat Registry

OCLC's WorldCat Registry is a free Web tool that provides a single location to access institutional identity and service information for libraries and consortia. This easy-to-use Web interface includes identifying codes assigned by various standards or industry organizations; details about physical location, contacts, Web sites and electronic services; hierarchical relationships such as parent consortia or child branches; and administrative and statistical data concerning staff, service usage and user population
