Friday Fun from Tech Services

On average, a new record is added to the WorldCat database every 10 seconds. No matter what time, day or night, a cataloger somewhere in the world is contributing a MARC record to the world's largest bibliographic database, and you can watch it all happen live.

Keep an eye on the "Contributed by" line at the bottom. If you see "GCD", that's me!

You want fun? I once SAW WorldCat (the server that is WorldCat) at OCLC in lovely Dublin, Ohio.

It was life-changing.
