Some free websites for searching holdings of libraries not (in most cases) in WorldCat or RLIN. I use the UK, Canadian, and Australian sites frequently (the others not so much) and thought it would be useful to have these quickly findable here. (Susan -- feel free to make bookmarks for any you wish as well..) / Denny
All: Thanks for listing these links, Denny. I have just added all of these links at the end of the National Bibliographies page, under Z. Other Library Catalogs for Various Countries.
P.S. Regarding the National Bibliographies page: Libraries->Catalogs->National->National Bibliographies page or go directly to :
http://www.lib.umn.edu/site/biblio.phtml
Shane recently arranged to put the National Bibliographies list on the CATALOGS page of LUMINA rather than have it buried on the Wilson/Reference/guides/etc page. That means that any library staff member can now simply set the resource type to CATALOGS (on the authoring page) and add (or edit, on existing entries) the BASE INFORMATION TYPE to NATIONAL BIBLIOGRAPHIES on the individual EDIT RESOURCE page.
