Following results from several pilots, Cornell University Library, the State Library of Ohio and the University of Delaware Library have signed agreements to use WorldCat Local, a new service that combines the cooperative power of OCLC member libraries worldwide with the ability to customize WorldCat.org as a solution for local discovery and delivery services.
WorldCat Local was introduced as a pilot in April 2007. Pilot projects are currently under way to determine interoperability with a variety of systems. University of Washington, Peninsula Library System in California, Libraries in Illinois, The Ohio State University and the University of California Libraries are all currently involved in WorldCat Local pilot projects. WorldCat Local moves from pilot into production in 2008.
WorldCat Local builds on WorldCat.org, which allows Web access to the world’s richest database for discovery of materials held in libraries. Through a locally branded interface, WorldCat Local provides libraries the ability to search the entire WorldCat database and present localized results most accessible to the user. These might include internal special collections, collections shared in a consortium and open access collections.

BABUR: The First Moghul in India
by Farzana Moon
Special Advance Release, not yet available from bookstores! This promising new book is available exclusively at this location, for a limited time only!
ABOUT THE BOOK:
In today’s world, many Western readers understand relatively little about the ancient, peaceful and civilised culture of Afghanistan. This literary, engaging story recalls the history of sixteenth century Afghanistan. Babur is the king of Kabul. He is the first Moghul to conquer India. The richly detailed, historically accurate biographical account of Babur’s life in this book begins on a hill called Gulkhaneh where the biblical Cain is believed to be buried. After thirty-six years of rule when Babur dies at Agra, his empire extends eastward from Badakhshan and Kabul through Punjab to the borders of Bengal. His last injunction to his first born reveals the epitome of his compassion and tenderness: “Do naught against thy brothers though they may deserve it.” For insider information, news of future publications and teaching resources, readers are invited to visit http://farzanamoon.blogspot.com/ where you may also obtain autographed copies of this fine book.
