[Web4lib] FirstSearch WorldCat and OpenURLs

[Teets,Mike]

Bill, 

We have OpenURL support for accessing Worldcat as described below.  This
is an interface that is neither FirstSearch nor Worldcat.org... although
it closely resembles worldcat.org.  This application was developed for a
specific partner service but is available for use in this form until a
more complete production service is released.  For IP authenticated
FirstSearch users, your FirstSearch link shows in the top right in the
"My Library" frame.

Our product plans include a more formal program of machine access
including OpenURL resolution to worldcat.org (and local).  Stay tuned on
that.

Some documentation is at
http://www.oclc.org/partnerships/worldcat/technical/wla/methods.htm

If you have additional questions or would like to get more specific,
shoot me an email.

Mike Teets, OCLC

Subject: [Web4lib] FirstSearch WorldCat and OpenURLs

Is there a URL for FirstSearch WorldCat that would work for sending a
OpenURL to get it to do the search for the item in the OpenURL?  I do
not mean to worldcat.org!
