[Publib] Re: What's good about a good ILS?

[Robert L. Balliot]

Greetings,

 

If Sue Kamm's 'libraryland' includes the plethora of patrons, it would be 

free to a preponderance of people.  This is different from the direct costs 

associated with users sessions built into contracts with ILS.   The search

will assume your location by IP address of your computer, but you can

modify location by postal code, state, province, or country to locate

other library holdings geographically.

 

You can now download a tool here: http://www.oclc.org/worldcatdownloads/

that will fit in nicely with your toolbar to extend your personal research

capabilities.

I use WorldCat all the time.  But it *isn't* free to libraries, as I
understand it.  (I haven't approved payment of an OCLC bill in years, so I
could be wrong).

Cheers,

Dale
