WorldCat Developer's Network

The WorldCat Developer's Network is a community of developers collaborating in a "sandbox" environment in order to propose, discuss and test WorldCat Grid Services. This open source, code-sharing infrastructure improves the value of OCLC data for all users by encouraging new Grid Service uses.

The WorldCat Grid Developer's Network is a group of developers who will:

  • help shape the future of WorldCat Grid Services;
  • engage in discussion and focus groups relative to current and proposed services;
  • share software code with other network members and the community-at-large in an open source environment; and,
  • provide feedback points for the library community to engage with.

How do I participate in the Network?

  • You missed the first WorldCat Hackathon, November 7-8 at the New York Public Library, but don't worry, we'll probably do it again. Plus, you can at least download the presentations and see some pictures.
  • Membership in the network is open to any developer in the library services industry, and to any other informed, interested user of library services.
  • There is no charge to be a member of the network.
  • OCLC hosts this wiki space and a blog for members to use for communication and code posting.
  • OCLC hosts the Developer's Network Listserv. To subscribe, visit this page and look for WC-DEVNET-L at the bottom. Participation in mailing lists is open to anyone, as is access to any information on the Developer's Network web site.
