Ur pressmeddelande från OCLC

On August 26, 1971, the OCLC Online Union Catalog and Shared
Cataloging system (now known as WorldCat) began operation. That first
day, from a single terminal, catalogers at Ohio University in Athens,
Ohio, cataloged 133 books online. WorldCat currently comprises more
than 240 million records representing more than 1.7 billion items in
OCLC member libraries worldwide.
