WorldCat Affiliate ServicesLet users of your Web site discover content and resources in WorldCat libraries worldwide
|
Make library-based resources part of your Web experience! WorldCat Affiliate Services integrate seamlessly into your application and let your users see complementary sources of information, look up physical items in WorldCat member libraries, and link to electronic resources such as full-text articles. Any Web-based application—including search engines, online databases, e-commerce sites, e-learning environments, library systems and other information services—can be easily enhanced with these tools. Information is drawn from quality bibliographic and institutional metadata contributed and updated by thousands of librarians and other information professionals.
Use of WorldCat Affiliate Services requires registration and agreement to Terms and Conditions. (OCLC Affiliate Services Terms & Conditions have been modified as of 4/3/2009.) Some Web services require fee-based authentication beyond certain service levels. End users of Affiliate services may be required to have an active membership with the participating library for full access to local services and electronic content.
