Weekend fun

Today's app is a way to find something good to read for the weekend, World Cat, beta edition. It's not the World Cat we have access to in GALILEO but the public World Cat. For a person on the go, this app is quite handy. Your search will tell you which library holds the book you're looking for and how far away that library is from your location.

Caveat- I'm not able to see what libraries hold a title when I click on the link at my PC. Maybe it will work on your mobile?

There are other World Cat apps that use ISBN and bar codes with the camera on your phone. See what might work best for your information needs!

and you know to use the World Cat we have access to in GALILEO, you will need the current password for GALILEO. Your Georgia librarian can give you the password. Just ask.
