  11. WorldCat Local: What Is It? • A global catalog of 98M BIB records • Prioritizes local holdings • Includes holdings from thousands of other libraries

  12. WorldCat Local: What Is It? • Displays local volume holdings and circulation information in real time • Provides seamless interface for local Borrow Direct and ILL clients

  13. WorldCat Local: Why Now? • Access more important than ownership • Need to make holdings more readily visible beyond the local catalog • Plans for Web 2.0 initiatives

  14. WorldCat Local: Why Now? • Plans to broaden access to full-text article content • Design based on usability studies with real library patrons
