Search WorldCat via Google

Your connection to WorldCat is down for some reason--and that patron you've been helping for 2 hours needs to do just one more search for that oh so rare book...what are you to do?
Well, you could resort to using the NUC--but you still have emotional scars from the last time you used it in Library School--So, why don't you try Google.
To search the WorldCat records available through Google type the following in the search box:

"Name of book" site:www.worldcatlibraries.org

Click on the following link to see what a search and the results look like...
Google Search: "where the red fern grows" site:www.worldcatlibraries.org

psst...you can do this through Yahoo! too.
