Best. Titles. Ever. Now on WorldCat

June 23, 2007 / Leave a comment

We’ve created an Open WorldCat List for the available items on our Best. Titles. Ever. page at http://freegovinfo.info/best.

I say “available items” because not all government documents have been cataloged into OCLC WorldCat, the world’s largest database of bibliographic records.

And because the WorldCat records have subject headings, you can jump from odd sounding titles to more sober sounding publications in many subjects. Something you won’t be able to do in the future if the Government Printing Office ignores copy cataloging goes it alone with brief records.
