Preview WorldCat Local- A New Catalog for CUL

Cornell University Library is developing a new catalog: WorldCat Local. Get a preview of the beta version and try it out for yourself! There are several major differences from our current catalog:

  • WorldCat Local not only searches Cornell’s libraries, but thousands of libraries globally (of course you can also restrict your searches to CU only).
    If a resource is unavailable or checked out at Cornell, the process to request the item from CUL or other libraries has been streamlined.
  • Easier to browse and refine search results. Categories are displayed to the left of the results, such as material type, author, language, etc.
  • Misspell a search term? It will suggest an alternate search term, i.e. “did you mean …?”

Learn more about this beta release, and submit questions and comments at CUL Labs. Your feedback is encouraged!
