I was just perusing David Bigwood's always-informative Catalogablog and came across a post discussing three Open WorldCat-enabled search tools: Yahoo toolbar, Google toolbar, and Firefox extensions. It's always nice to have options, but if you don't want to fuss with extra downloads, there are still plenty of Web sites that offer Open WorldCat records in their search results. The drawback to this approach is that the Open WorldCat records are mixed in with all the other search results and finding them can take some patience, a very refined search string, or both. With the toolbars and extensions you can limit your search results to just Open WorldCat records.
If you haven't had a chance to give Open WorldCat a whirl, go to Google or Yahoo and paste in the following search string.

An Open WorldCat record should be the first result in either list.
