Thing #12 WorldCat

I used the book Plague of Doves by Louise Erdrich which actually had very little information under the tabs. It gave a brief summary of the plot and a few subject headings. There were no reviews or table of contents. For tech savvy patrons this could be a good resource. They can put in the title, check if OCL owns it, read a review etc.

For I.L.L. use it might save time. If you use WorldCat for the search you can check our holdings and Amazon.com at the same time for bibliographic information.
