Three examples of linking to OpenWorldCat have just come over my horizon. Each represents a slightly different use, which is nice. 

- A pilot with the [Santa Monica public library catalog](https://csmpl.smpl.org/uhtbin/cgisirsi/x/0/0/5?search%5Ftype=search&searchdata1=ocm45738929{001}&library=ALL&sort%5Fby=-PBYR&S%5FICON^SU^SUBJECT^SUBJECTS^Subject+Processing^subject.x=35&S%5FICON^SU^SUBJECT^SUBJECTS^Subject+Processing^subject.y=25&ref=lorcandempsey.net). Click on ‘check nearby libraries’ in the box on the left. An ISBN link with a zip code qualifier shows nearby libraries with the item. (Thanks to Migell Acosta.)
- Greenwood Publishing Group is direct linking to OWC from within their catalog. Check [*Basic Research Methods for Librarians*](https://www.greenwood.com/books/BookDetail.asp?sku=LU1036&ref=lorcandempsey.net), and click on the WorldCat logo to go through to the relevant *Find in a Library* page.
- [Rag Bibliography](https://www.nuevoanden.com/rag/bibliography.html?ref=lorcandempsey.net). Click on the library link, where it is present.
