#20 Discovering other Web 2.0 tools

Okay, I'm in a hurry to finish my goal so I'll admit I cheated. I picked something I'm already familiar with -- WorldCat. I use it to search for records when I'm cataloging zines. All you do is search for a title (or author) and if you get a hit then you select the library that holds that item. I don't find a lot of titles but when I do it's nice to be able to look at them in a marc format. Not all libraries offer marc records and some others have skimpy records, but it's still a great source and definitely worth using.
