WorldCat.org now supports mobile browser views on Apple iOS and Android platforms, which means if you have those phones you no longer need to install or maintain an app. Optimization for other smartphone browsers such as Blackberry and Windows 7 Mobile as well as feature phone support is coming soon.
On worldcat.org/m you can search for library materials, see cover art (if available), e-mail a link or citations and get location-based holdings information for nearby libraries. You’ll also see map/directions, and visitor information such as hours and phone numbers. Connect directly to the library’s online catalog to see if the material is available.
Test out the site by trying some of the suggested searches and let us know what you think!
