WorldCat Beta is here. Search for titles in 10,000 libraries. This is the union catalog we could only dream of 10 years ago. It works. I searched for May, Nuala and found The Story of Chicago May by Nuala O'Faolain in the Toronto Public Library. Search for books, sound recordings, videos and other formats.
"This Web site lets you find an item of interest and then locate a library near you that owns it. WorldCat search results usually link you directly to the item record on the library's Web site, and often point to the library's other online services, including "Ask a Librarian." The library's Web site may allow you to join a waiting list, reserve an item, check it out and even have it shipped or delivered. These services will vary from one library to another, and a login associated with an active library membership is commonly required to use them."
You can also buy books at WorldCat through Baker and Taylor in a transaction that will also help your local library.
