What is WorldCat?

WorldCat is the world's largest network of library-based content and services. This WorldCat group catalog allows you to:

  • Search many libraries at once for an item and then locate it in a library nearby
  • Find books, music, and videos that you can pick up at your library
  • Find research articles and digital books and audiobooks that can be directly viewed or downloaded
  • Quickly link to "Ask a Librarian" and other online services at your library (subject to local availability)
  • Create a personal profile that tells others about your interests
  • Build lists of library materials you can share with others
  • Post your review of an item, or contribute factual information about it such as historical context
