iPhone and Android Users - Search for Books

Go to http://shiplibrary.worldcat.org/m on your iPhone or Android phone to search for a Library book.

WorldCat has released new search software for the iPhone and the Android. No apps to download, no prompting to update the latest app each time you go to the app store...it just "works" when you use the browser of your phone. And the experience is similar to the browser on your "big" screen.

(Other smartphone browsers such as Blackberry and Windows 7 Mobile--as well as feature phone support--are in the works for future releases.)

WorldCat - New Software to Find Books

Finding BOOKS at Ship and other US libraries just got easier with WorldCat. To find a book...

1. Go to Ship Library's webpage and type your topic into the WorldCat Quick Start Box.

2. WorldCat displays books we own.

3. WorldCat tells where the book is in the Library.

4. Click on ‘Cite/Export’ to find the citation in MLA, APA, Chicago, etc. for your Ref. List.

5. If Ship doesn’t have the book, click on ‘Request via Interlibrary Loan’ to order it online.

“WorldCat is so easy. I just love it!”
