194,634 profiles and counting!
*trumpet sound*
We're getting excited here, as the number of new registered users on WorldCat keeps going up. At last count, we're at 194,634. I know this number might seem small right now to some, but the more people hear about WorldCat and use it--the more front and center the Library becomes in everyone's minds as a great place to go for information, knowledge and life-changing learning. Online and in person.
If you have friends who haven't created a profile on WorldCat yet, now would be a good time to mention it to them. We're going to be watching that registered users count pretty carefully until we hit the 200,000 milestone. There's even talk of featuring the 200,00th profile in some way...stay tuned for details!

Where is there an explanation of what kinds of resources there are
when the terminology and the little icon appear in citations?... "Internet Resource"

Hello Zak!
As it happens, we're in the initial stages of creating new icons, as we speak. From the time that these icons were created, the Web has made a quantum leap in functionality--streaming video, for example--and there's no way to differentiate between format and function at this point. (i.e., is this a sound recording that I can click on and hear through the browser? Or a sound recording that I need to visit my library to borrow the CD?)
Still, this page explains the icons currently displaying in WorldCat. Does this help answer your question?
