Re: Cavallucci [EXLIBRIS-L] OCLC (World Cat)

[Fred Schreiber <ekslibris@MAC.COM>]

It is my experience that many titles which are listed in NUC either
do not show up in WorldCat, or cite locations not included in the
latter.

Therefore, I personally always check both NUC and WorldCat before
making such rash statements as "no copy in American collections," or
"only x copies in American collections."
