A popular app for iPhone users, RedLaser now includes library listings when a user scans a book barcode with their iPhone. The app uses the WorldCat Search API and WorldCat Registry APIs to deliver results for libraries nearby who hold the item in WorldCat, the world’s largest library catalog. Location and mapping information is also available.
The CONTENTdm Collection of Collections is featured on the OCLC website. The featured collections in December were UMBC Digital Collections, Bound and Unbound: Altered Book Exhibition, Lawrence University Department of Theatre Arts Productions, and University of Iowa Museum of Art Digital Collection.
The new WorldCat Basic API makes the world's largest library catalog available in a programmatic way. This new API from OCLC is being offered as a very simple interface into WorldCat. Envisioned as a mashable access point for lightweight apps such as for mobile phones, WorldCat Basic API is available for noncommercial use.
