[SLA-SF] Worldcat open to everyone

[Linda Yamamoto]

Hi,

I actually have run across some WorldCat records in my Google searches, 
albeit mostly for journals and more scholarly works and they usually 
don't show up at the top of the results page or even in the first few 
pages. Of course, you can specify that it find records within the 
oclc.org domain.
