World Cat is a product of cooperative cataloguing of OCLC member libraries. OCLC has large number of public, academic and special libraries as its members ascross the globe. In addition all the records of library of congress, british library and other national libraries are added. SABINET also contributes its records from Southern Africa.

The beauty of world cat searching is if one defines his geographical area, then when a publication is searched it shows the libraries nearby having that publication, such that a member can walk into that library to access the publication.

Not many libraries from India contribute to this effort.
