A Major Reference Resource Is Now Available Online

Worldcat is now available to the general public. It combines the resources of thousands of academic library catalogues into one searchable database. Simply enter the subject, title or author, isolate the source that interests you, and enter your zipcode. Worldcat will point you to libraries where it can be found in your area.

This is particularly good for finding obscure dissertations.

A similar resource has long been available to academic institutions, but this can be used by the general public.

Hallelujah!!!

Check it out here.
