As part of an investigation into the viability of employing WorldCat to provide access to our resources on the web we are looking for the views of those currently using, or are thinking of using, WorldCat. Any information would be greatly appreciated, but we would be particularly interested in the following:
• What are the advantages to be gained, for students or other users?
• What impact does it have on other services; for instance, Inter Library Loans and User Education?
• What percentage of the various items of your collection is covered by WorldCat?
• Were many staff-hours employed in the setting up of your collection before being ready for WorldCat?
We would also be interested in knowing which Library Information System you use.
