I just did a Google Books search on "Gone with the wind." I clicked on the first hit, and was given a brief bibliographic display and a link at the right to "Find this book in a library." I clicked that and was taken to WorldCat, which provided a list of copies in libraries close to me.
I would feel more positive about this if 1) WorldCat represented all libraries that wished to be represented on the Web and 2) if WorldCat data were open. The WorldCat database, in particular its gathering of library holdings, has great potential. Unfortunately, it isn't a universally available solution and many uses of its data are not allowed, as is being currently discussed elsewhere. kc -- ----------------------------------- Karen Coyle / Digital Library Consultant [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kcoyle.net ph.: 510-540-7596 skype: kcoylenet fx.: 510-848-3913 mo.: 510-435-8234 ------------------------------------
