WorldCat Rocks!

Alright, maybe a classical music aficionado like myself should not use such an expression, but WorldCat keeps getting better and better. For those of you who work in a library, you know how useful this website is, and there is more to it than just looking up materials and their locations. Most recently, I've been creating lists of items I own (click here for an example). It automatically imports the bibliographic record and pictures of the item when available. I can also export any list to an Excel file. If you've viewed my Facebook profile recently, you'll notice that I have installed the WorldCat application.

Have a favorite author? Take a look at WorldCat Identities which is in beta right now. Punch a name in and see what WorldCat can offer...

Yes, I am still alive!

Just rather lazy, I guess. Now that I've put a link to my blog on my Facebook profile, perhaps some people will actually visit it now! That means it's time for an update...

As a follow-up to my March 13th post on replacement covers, I have discovered another site which should be of great use. Despite being the largest cover site on the net, there are still covers on websites not found on cdcovers.cc. http://cdcovers.to is a cover search engine which searches 12 different websites. The total number of covers is currently over 3.3 million!
