OCLC Introduces WorldCat Facebook Application
A new WorldCat Facebook application provides access to OCLC WorldCat searches and user-created lists from personalized pages within an individual's Facebook account.
The application includes a home screen with the WorldCat search box, as well as quick links to WorldCat searches based on topics listed in a Facebook profile as personal interests. The application also includes:
- A built-in, advanced WorldCat search
- A panel that allows users to invite other Facebook friends to install WorldCat
- A Something to Read panel that displays books recently added to WorldCat lists
- A Favorite WorldCat Lists panel where users track their own lists or those of other WorldCat users
