A couple of weeks ago, while trying to find books about the Mass Observation movement in Britain in the first half of the 20th century, I found this website (WorldCat.org) that connects the collections of hundreds of libraries all over the world. It’s great fun to search for a book and find out the closest one (of which the website is aware) is thousands of miles away.
I’ve also started using WorldCat and del.icio.us together to create a list of what I’ve been reading. I figured the sidebar had links to what I’ve been photographing, listening to, and looking at on the internet, it should probably also show what I’ve been reading. It’s a short list because I just started it, and decided to only go back as far as my recent move. I haven’t read much since moving.
p.s. Happy Birthday, Ryan W.!
