Open Worldcat

Open Worldcat is a new web service that enables you to search the holdings of thousands of libraries at once. It searches the same index as our Worldcat Subscription database but provides an easy to use interface. The holdings of most major research and academic libraries are including in both Open Worldcat and subscription Worldcat. If you access Open Worldcat on campus or via the GC’s Library Proxy Server (Off-Campus users supply your GC username and password) it will work directly with the CUNY “Find-It” service so you can see if any item you find belongs to a CUNY library.
