The Peninsula Library System was chosen to be the second library system in the nation to test a new library catalog interface: WorldCat Local. WorldCat Local is a product of the OCLC, an organization that facilitates information and catalog sharing between libraries worldwide. You can be a part of shaping this new product by trying it out and sending your feedback to the OCLC by clicking on the "feedback" link on any of the catalog's screens.

WorldCat Local allows you access the catalogs of thousands of libraries. This is particularly useful in the Bay Area where you might be interested in the holdings of universities or library systems nearby.  WorldCat also has search features that today's Internet users have come to expect: a Google-like search box, giving you a "did you mean...." suggestion so you will get results despite typos, and the ability to quickly revise your search by clicking on related topics in the left screen column.  Try it out and let us know what you think!
