Watch WorldCat Grow!
A new online "record counter" on the OCLC Web site lets you
see new records as they are added to WorldCat, the OCLC Online Union Catalog.
The counter displays a brief record that includes OCLC number, title,
author, publisher, publication date, language, format and contributing
institution. Every eight seconds the Web page is refreshed.
