Find Library Books the EASY Way!

Raise your hand if you like Google. Yup, that's what I thought: that's just about everybody, isn't it? Well, hang on to your hats, because if you like Google, then you're going to love this.

The O’Grady Library is proud to announce the debut of WorldCat Local (WCL), a dynamic new way to find what you need. With one simple search box, WorldCat Local puts you in the driver’s seat, letting you search for books, videos, and articles—or everything at once.

Take it for a spin, play around, and get your hands dirty. Then let us know what you think. Your feedback is crucial to making WCL a success, so don’t hesitate to comment or drop us an email at apierson@stmartin.edu.
