WorldCat Discovery Services will be available to all current FirstSearch subscribers in March 2014 as part of existing subscriptions. It will fully replace FirstSearch following a year-long transition period during which the two services will operate in parallel.
WorldCat® Discovery Services provide a new suite of cloud-based applications that brings the FirstSearch® and WorldCat® Local services together. The suite will enable people to discover more than 1.66 billion electronic, digital and physical resources in libraries around the world through a single search of both WorldCat® and a central index that represents nearly 2,000 e-content collections. This will make it possible for 18,000+ FirstSearch libraries to offer a richer discovery experience.
See the WorldCat® Discovery Services for further information.
