The new WorldCat Facebook application provides access to WorldCat searches and user-created lists from personalized pages within a Facebook account. The application includes a home screen with the WorldCat search box, as well as quick links to WorldCat searches based on topics listed in a Facebook profile as personal interests.
The application also includes:
- a built-in, advanced WorldCat search;
- a panel that allows users to invite other Facebook friends to install WorldCat;
- a “Something to Read” panel that displays books recently added to WorldCat lists; and
- a “Favorite WorldCat Lists” panel where users track their own lists or those of other WorldCat users.
