WorldCat Local aims to enhance library services by integrating local systems with the resources of the world's largest library network, WorldCat.org. It focuses on meeting users' expectations for seamless search and access to diverse materials through a customizable interface. The service is in pilot phase with institutions like the University of Washington and is expected to fully release in late 2007.
