WORLDCAT DOES LISTS

OCLC’s WorldCat now gives you the ability to create lists from “library-owned items you have found while using WorldCat.” You have to create an account, but it’s free and quick. You can create as many lists as you want, share them or keep them private, add and delete items, export the list to your own computer, and add brief (up to 256 characters) notes to the entries. You can even export citations in comma-delimited format and they plan to add EndNote and RefWorks supporting APA, Chicago, Harvard, MLA, and Turabian styles. How cool! Check out the lists already created by others, too.
