WorldCat Mobile Pilot Extended To Europe

Birmingham, UK, 6 July 2009-OCLC today announced that the WorldCat
Mobile pilot, a program that makes collections from libraries visible
through mobile devices, has been extended to Europe. Expanding the pilot
to Europe means that now phones in the Netherlands, Germany, the UK, and
France will also be operational.

The WorldCat Mobile pilot allows users to search for and find books and
other materials available in libraries near them through a Web
application they can access from a PDA or smartphone.

Created in collaboration with Boopsie, Inc., a U.S.-based provider of
software for mobile devices, the WorldCat Mobile pilot is a downloadable
application that supports many devices, including Nokia, Blackberry and
iPhone. 

The WorldCat Mobile App is available from
