Also Available at a WorldCat Library

Created at the May 2009 WorldCat Mashathon in Amsterdam, the “Also available at” sidebar in the Wageningen UR Library Catalogue development site uses the WorldCat Search API and the WorldCat Registry OpenURL Gateway to display a location-sensitive listing for other WorldCat libraries who also hold the item.

Designers and Books

Designers and Books.com is devoted to publishing lists of books that esteemed members of the design community identify as personally important, meaningful, and formative—books that have shaped their values, their worldview, and their ideas about design.

The site profiles participating designers—from architects to car designers—to showcase what books have been most influential to each artist’s creative process, and a new list is added to the site each week. Once a reader identifies a particular work on the site, Designers & Books uses the data in WorldCat to provide library availability information and author profiles.

Find in a Library - Wageningen UR Library Catalogue

This widget adds a "Find in A Library" button to the sidebar of the Wageningen UR Library Catalogue full record screen. The button builds an OpenURL for the item and routes users to the appropriate link resolver by using the OpenURL Gateway

Get Related ISSN scripts

This application adds a "find similar journals" link to the journal A-Z list as well as a peer reviewed indicator for journals which are peer reviewed. When the Find Similar Journals link is clicked, a new web page opens showing journal titles similar to the one that is being displayed. The code gathers related ISSN from the xISSN web service and then uses these to gather relevant subject headings from the Worldcat Search API. It then uses these subject headings to search for and display other titles that the library has that have similar subjects, allowing users to "Find Similar Journals" to the ones they are browsing.

Latest Table of Contents Links

This script is based on demonstration code which the Developer Network published last year prior to code4lib. The script uses the xISSN service to see what the table of contents RSS feed is for a given journal. If a table of contents feed exists than a link to that feed is added to the screen. The link then takes the user to the table of contents feed for that journal.

Library Finder

 

You’re in a strange city and need a nice, clean place to use the Internet and get the latest news. What do you do? Go to a local coffee shop? I said a nice, clean place. How about the library! Library Finder is perfect for you. Library Finder allows you to find libraries near you anywhere in the world.

 

Library Finder uses the WorldCat Registry API to identify libraries near a given location via latitude and longitude found in the Registry. Additionally, when available, it is uses the Registry API to display the contact information, website, and library type for a given library.  The application also uses the HTML5 Geolocation API in supported browsers to determine where a user is. Finally Library Finder uses a CSS3 technique, Responsive Web Design, to make the website fully mobile friendly. (Supports FF6+, Safari, Chrome, or IE9+)

musicloud

How many times have you loved a song, knew a few lyrics, but didn't know the title or the artist? MusiCLoud matches you to the music by searching on the words you remember, then returns matches to cds, books and more freely available in nearby libraries. This app uses the WorldCat Search API to pull in albums related to the song's lyrics that are available in a nearby library. 

The initial idea for this app came from the WorldCat Mashathon Boston in September 2010.

Subjects Here

subjects-here is an HTML5 experiment (all HTML and JavaScript) which uses the geo-location features in modern browsers to look up your location in OCLC's mapFAST webservice, and display the results using Google Maps API

WorldCat Identities Network

The WorldCat identities Network allows users to explore the interconnectivity and relationships between WorldCat Identities.

The ID Network uses the Identities API, which provides each Identity with up to 10 related identities. Users can easily jump from Identity Network to Identity Network by selecting the name in the Identity Network Map. An Identity can be a person, a thing (the Titanic), a fictitious character (Harry Potter), or a corporation (IBM).  Additionally, the app provides links to WorldCat and Identities for more in depth information for a given identity.
