  19. User Feedback "This is an awesome project. This is the right direction to take. We want to be fully involved." [member] “I'm glad that [our library] is part of this as it will help us to promote our collections to a wider audience. We are in the process of converting 750,000 records, which should be available in WorldCat over the next 3-4 years.” [member] “[This] site…let me know about a book that I never would have found out about otherwise, and let me know exactly where to tell the local county library to request an interlibrary loan. I'm a botanist for the US National Park Service, and this is an INCREDIBLE resource for those of us in isolated areas hours away from a university caliber library. If you need a testimonial for funding or convincing libraries to join, I'd be happy to provide one.” [end-user] "I am absolutely DELIGHTED to be able to access WorldCat through Google! As an independent researcher and author…not associated with an institution…being able to easily find the local locations for books I need is WONDERFUL. Please continue to make this program available to the public. Many thanks indeed!" [end-user]
