Worldcat – Snaga globalne bibliotečke zajednice, efikasnost i zajedničko korišćenje izvora
Worldcat – The Power Of Global Library Community, Efficiency And Sharing

Summary/Abstract: The global environment in which libraries operate has changed dramatically in recent years. People discover items of interest in a variety of ways and library services need to build their workflows accordingly. Regardless of a library’s presence in its local geography, it will be its ability to make resources available in a global Web environment that will guarantee its relevancy and longevity. Since its inception in 1971, WorldCat has evolved to meet the changing needs of the world’s library community. Begun as a union catalogue of library holdings, WorldCat has become a global hub around which discovery, delivery, automation, sharing and management occur. Every time a librarian, partner or end user makes a connection on theWorldCat network, that ac- tivity enables other avenues for cooperation, efficiency and discovery.WorldCat has become the foundation of an array of services that connect libraries, vendors, partners and us- ers in a shared, global platform.
