The promise of this kind of data aggregation and data sharing is what drives OCLC’s vision for libraries and the consumer space. That vision is revolves around helping its members to deliver their value to the user at the point of need on the Web, in a manner that’s consistent with the expectations of the user based on their experience with the World’s best Web brands. Library capacity for this purpose includes:Collections: Physical, Licensed, Locally digitizedServices (eg, online reference)Social value (library as social network/place)
You can also take different views of the data. For example, you can see that there are also more holdings in WorldCat for titles published in India than there are for titles published in China or Australia.CLICK TO THESES AND DISSERTATIONS
The perceptions report has been updated in the past few months. In fact, it hasn’t yet been publishedHere’s an early look at results … this slide for Canadian respondents only. On key quality measures (what a library IS) – trustworthiness and accuracy, the library is considered superior to search engines. Moreover, respondents continue to agree that libraries add value to the search process. On key convenience measures, however (what a library does), search engines dominate. This finding is consistent with the findings of the earlier perceptions report, pointing to the gap between the value of the library and how that value is delivered to users.
There are also many new types of information objects in which students and scholars take an interest.Libraries have long been stewards for the types of materials to the left of the central vertical line.Today, to remain strong and viable in their communities, libraries like UCLA’s are stepping up to participate in the stewardship of appropriate materials to the right of the central vertical line.WorldCat is traditionally strong in the upper left quadrant of this grid but we are working hard to expand coverage into the other relevant quadrants.
In brief, our strategy is to build Web-scale for libraries. What does that mean? Web-scale means concentrating computer resources, applications and data to deliver benefits to large numbers of users through the Web. It means delivering the library network to people in ways that individual libraries cannot. It means creating the infrastructure to deliver large-scale, network-based workflow solutions. Ultimately, Web-scale means building the next generation of library services. On the screen is our virtuous circle for building Web-scale. This is not a perpetual motion machine---it’s more like a flywheel, whereby we keep generating new value by providing the most compelling-Web-scale presence for libraries and their users. The more libraries, the more records, the more network effects, the more value for everyone.CLICK TO FOUR OBJECTIVES
You can see that a lot of users are finding library materials on WorldCat.org and then clicking through to the services they offer. In the last year tracked, WorldCat.org resulted in more than 10 million clicks to library services. CLICKIn addition, we’ve seen strong growth in the use of our various data services – the WC API, OpenURL Gateway, and the XID service. These services are used by a growing number of organizations in and outside of our industry.

We’re very excited to announce that a mobile version of WorldCat.org is now live. The best way to get to it is, currently, from smartphone mobile browsers by going to www.worldcat.org/m, though you can see what it looks like from any Java enabled browser. This represents the next natural step in our mobile strategy for WorldCat.org – providing a mobile version of the site itself, as opposed to using only mobile apps for access. The last year has provide us with a great user feedback and learning (on our part) about how people want to access WorldCat via mobile devices. We’ve benefited from a great partnership with Boopsie, who helped us gear up for and roll-out our very first mobile app. We’ve also learned from partnerships with companies like RedLaser. They taught us quite a lot, and we’re looking forward to working with them in the future. While there will always be a place in the technology ecosystem for dedicated mobile apps, our belief is that robust mobile features for a destination Web site like WorldCat.org really require a “mobile web” strategy. More and more mobile devices – smart phones, cell phones, tablet computers, etc. – are going to be browser-enabled, and sites that provide an optimized mobile experience for their users will be at an advantage on that playing field. We want WorldCat.org to be a great “mobile doorway” for the resources and services our member libraries provide. If you’ve got a smart phone, take a minute to check out www.worldcat.org/m. In the coming months, we’ll be adding auto-detection at WorldCat.org so that the site will “know” what kind of browser you’re using. We’ll also be adding support for “non smart phones.”

With WorldCat Local, we are creating a compelling user environment that enables a library or group of libraries to customize WorldCat.org as a solution for local discovery and delivery services. It provides a single interface to collections. It interoperates with locally maintained services such as circulation, resource sharing and resolution to full text to create an integrated experience for library users. There are now over 1,100 libraries registered for WorldCat Local.CLICK TO WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY
WorldCat Local has been implemented on the 10 campuses of the University of California System. This is what the implementation at UCLA Library looks like. It’s a simple, elegant search box that lets the user choose whether to search UCLA Library, the libraries in the University of California System, or all libraries around the world through WorldCat. WorldCat Local is a service provided to the library across the Internet that eliminates/reduces costs to the library for hosting, operating and maintaining software. JAY: Mary Roach, Associate Dean of Technical Services, has mentioned that KU Libraries are investigating use of WorldCat Local quick start. Some issues regarding holdings and OCLC numbers and WorldCat records need to be resolved before they go forward.CLICK TO CALIFORNIA DIGITAL LIBRARY TEAM
When I say “Web-scale” for libraries, we are not talking about building a black box in the cloud. We are providing an infrastructure, a platform, applications and services. We are going to concentrate data that can be entered once and shared globally. There will be no hardware or software for a library to manage locally. In short, Web-scale services will change the way libraries do the things that they have always done.CLICK TO ADVISORY COUNCIL
With WorldCat Lists, users can create lists of their favorite items located in the WorldCat database. This example shows a list for a book club. Lists can then be shared with family, friends or the entire WorldCat community. Word about WorldCat’s list making functionality has already started to spread. More than 94,000 people have set up accounts, and more than 35,000 lists have been created. Soon, we hope to deliver more features that allow even greater participation with the world’s library catalogs: tagging, list sharing, groups, reviews, and ratings.CLICK TO WORLDCAT IDENTITIES
Another view of extending our global relevance and position of trust can be seen in a major international cooperative effort—the Virtual International Authority File. In the past year, the project has grown to the 13 institutions that you see listed here. The group will extend and enhance the Virtual International Authority File, which virtually combines multiple name authority files into a single name authority service. The long-term goal of the VIAF project is to include authoritative names from many libraries into a global service that will be freely available via the Web to users worldwide.

OCLC researchers and the WorldCat.org team have come up with yet another way to make WorldCat data work harder. WorldCat Genres allows you to browse dozens of genres for hundreds of titles, authors, subjects, characters, locations, and more, ranked by popularity in the world's libraries. This another step forward in creating a compelling user experience.CLICK TO GLOBAL LIBRARY STATISTICS
Libraries are highly valued by consumers, particularly for their trustworthiness, authoritative information and free resourcesMany consumer Web sites recognize this value and would take advantage of it if it were delivered comprehensively, coherently, and in a “Webby” way Libraries will have to collaborate in new ways in order to accomplish this objective
