		WorldCat itself is not directly purchased by libraries, but serves as the foundation for many other fee-based OCLC services (such as resource sharing and collection management).
		In 2004, this functionality became a permanent feature of WorldCat, and the entire database was made available for search-engine harvesting.

	Union Lists : WorldCat - UA Library
		WorldCat allows one to limit searches in a multitude of ways: to date ranges, to material types, to languages, to availability (by how many libraries hold the item), etc.
		WorldCat defaults to putting an "AND" between each word you type, UNLESS you override this default by choosing one of the phrase types in the drop-down menus (discouraged) or putting quotation marks around your phrase (advised).
		Because WorldCat has such detailed search options, it can be nice to use the WorldCat interface to search for items in your own library.

		WorldCat · Clearly, it's expensive to catalog all the books that all the libraries buy; furthermore, given that every serious library in the world is going to acquire Vikram Seth's next novel and Bill Clinton's memoirs, it seems redundant for everyone to do essentially the same task.
		WorldCat has basically no full-text, but they know a lot about each object they have, starting with basic stuff like who wrote it, and when and where that happened.
		Basically, WorldCat is like a library catalog, and so FirstSearch is like a library catalog, and you normally search such a thing with what librarians call an OPAC, for “online public access catalog.” Many educational-institution and public libraries put their OPACs up on the Web for anyone to use.
