OCLC and DOGObooks partnership will help connect children to libraries

DUBLIN, Ohio, USA, 13 February 2013—DOGObooks.com, the leading website for book reviews by children, is partnering with OCLC to connect children to resources in libraries through WorldCat.

DOGObooks.com helps kids discover, rate and review the books they enjoy. The site offers a fun, safe and interactive environment for children to share their reactions, thoughts and opinions about books. DOGObooks also offers book previews and the ability to purchase books through affiliate partners, and now through the WorldCat Search API children will be able to search for books at their local library.

"We are all about empowering kids and the WorldCat Search API has enabled us to create a powerful application on www.dogobooks.com to help kids find books at their local libraries," said Rupen Dolasia, Vice President, DOGObooks Business Development.

The WorldCat Search API offers access to WorldCat library records and holdings, enabling partners like DOGObooks to connect users to library catalogs from within partner websites.

"OCLC is happy to welcome DOGObooks to our partner program," said Cindy Cunningham, Director, OCLC Partner Programs. "With its focus on younger readers and applications that serve school and public librarians, DOGObooks addresses the needs of an important user population. Through this partnership, we want to help direct young people online to valuable resources in their libraries."

WorldCat is a database of bibliographic information built continuously by OCLC and libraries around the world since 1971. It is the world's largest online database for discovery of library resources. Each record in the WorldCat database contains a bibliographic description of a single item or work and a list of institutions that hold the item. Search WorldCat on the Web at www.worldcat.org.
