OCLC Launches WorldCat Mobile Pilot, Newsbreaks (Jan 26)
This should ease the lineups in libraries at the machines for library holdings - use your mobile device - if your public library subscribes to OCLC.
"OCLC (www.oclc.org) has launched a pilot program to make collections from libraries visible through mobile devices. The WorldCat Mobile pilot allows users to search for and find books and other materials available in their local libraries through a web application they can access from a PDA or a smartphone. The pilot will gather data to inform and help shape future mobile access to WorldCat.org. The pilot is now available in the U.S. and Canada and is expected to last 6 months."
