Recent Items Stats
The initial phase of the WorldCat Library Profile feature launched in mid-May and is now off and running.
The following are some interesting stats from the 'Recent Items added by this library to WorldCat' area:
• There were 13,689 libraries that added a new item to WorldCat in May.
• Of those, 1,099 did not have existing recent items lists from April, so WorldCat automatically created a new list.
• 12,590 recent items lists were updated (for libraries that had new items in both April and May).
• The most popular item added to WorldCat in May, added by 2,245 libraries, was Dying To Meet You: 43 Old Cemetery Road.
We are still working to resolve the issue for those libraries that cannot yet view their profile. We hope to have a fix in place very soon and apologize for the inconvenience.

I couldn't get the RSS feed for recently added items for my library to work. If I add the feed to a feed reader (I checked Bloglines and Google Reader), neither one shows any of the items listed on the Recent Additions to WorldCat page for my library.

Hi Stephen,
Thanks for your feedback. We are experiencing some sporadic problems with the RSS feeds on a few of our recent items lists. We are working on a solution and hope to have it in place very soon & apologize for the inconvenience in the mean time.
Thanks, Laura
