WorldCat.org is a great resource for locating unique, trustworthy materials that are hard to find anywhere except in a library. And by connecting thousands of libraries’ collections in one place, WorldCat.org makes it easy to browse the world’s libraries from one easy search box.

During the past 50+ years, thousands of libraries have entered their information about millions of books, magazines, movies, songs, maps, genealogical records, research theses and so much more into WorldCat. One can find article citations with links to full text, authoritative research materials, one-of-a-kind documents and photos of local or historic significance, and digital versions of rare items that aren’t generally available to the public.
