A list of union catalogs:

> During the research work on my latest book, Library World Records, I used both Worldcat and several European union catalogs, in my search for specific books, because I travelled to several European libraries, being able to know if particular books I needed, for my book project, was in a library I was visiting, proved invaluable and saved me a lot of time searching individual catalogs. \[[INFO CONNECT: Union Catalogs of the World.](https://lwrw.com/union%5Fcatalogs.htm?ref=lorcandempsey.net)\]

The author, Godfrey Oswald, notes the utility of WorldCat as the only ‘big global union catalog’. Spotted in [Catalogablog](https://catalogablog.blogspot.com/2004/09/union-catalogs.html?ref=lorcandempsey.net) which spotted it in [ResourceShelf](https://resourceshelf.freepint.com/?ref=lorcandempsey.net).
