Headline: LiB's Library part of OCLC WorldCat Local Project

My employer, the San Mateo County Library, is one of the few libraries that are a part of the OCLC WorldCat Local project through our consortium, the Peninsula Library System. 

WorldCat Local is an overlay over our regular III catalog that will replace all the screens our users see during the search process--all the search screens, main results screen, etc.  Users will still see the regular III interface for placing holds, looking at their accounts, getting PINs, etc.  The results screens will show our libraries' holdings at the top, and underneath that, other libraries that participate in WorldCat that are nearby. 

None of us has actually seen any part of the product yet--we're just going on what we've been told.  We are hoping to see the product in action soon, and are told that we will see it before it is launched live on our site.  This project has been a huge deal for our consortium and libraries, and none of us has been able to talk about it for months.  I'm glad the cat is out of the bag, finally.
