WorldCat is provided by OCLC Online Computer Library Center on behalf of its member libraries and searches the collections of over 10,000 libraries and some 1.2 billion items from around the world. You can search for books, foreign language material, music CDs, videos, digital content (such as downloadable audiobooks), article citations (with links to their full text), authoritative research materials (such as documents and photos of local or historic significance) and digital versions of rare items that aren't available to the public. WorldCat allows you find an item of interest and then locate library/s that own it. Usually you will link directly to the item record on that particular library's website. View record page
