Open Library vs WorldCat
Who’s behind each, what their homepages track, what they cost and how often their policies changed, measured the same way for both. By what they offer, they’re very close.
An open, user-editable online catalog of books that aims to have a page for every published book, with free reading and borrowing of digitized books through controlled digital lending, run by the Internet Archive.
WorldCat.org is a free public search interface to a global union catalog of library holdings, letting users find books, music, video and articles and locate them in nearby libraries. It is operated by the nonprofit cooperative OCLC and includes lists, citations and interlibrary loan trends.
