WorldCat - Thing 12, part 2

I really like using WorldCat. It provides a wealth of information about a title that would definitely be helpful in filling out our ILL form. I liked looking at the tabs, but didn't find any reviews of the books I searched - I like to read reviews. I also like using the advanced search option to narrow the search. It was interesting looking at the different libraries that carry a title. Making a list is easy to do. I liked the fact that when I added the title of a book to my list and then searched under one of the subject headings to that title, the resulting list of titles was not limited to books, but also brought up articles that I could add. The fact that the list can be either private or public can be helpful in a library setting.
