Subject: [slm] Using Google to Find Items through Worldcat.org

Hey, I thought this was pretty nifty, so thought I would share.

You can use google to find books around the world.  All you need to do is
include the phrase "find in a library"
along with your title and google knows to use worldcat.org in search
results!

I did "find in a library"  catcher in the rye and the first hit was a link
to Worldcat:
http://www.worldcatlibraries.org/wcpa/isbn/0316769533

Pretty cool!

D.
