Scan a book barcode with your iPhone, see if we have it
Now thanks to a popular iPhone app called RedLaser, you can scan a book barcode and find our library results through WorldCat.org. The app shows results for our library and libraries nearby, when we have the item. Currently library results for RedLaser are for books only. Watch a 43 second YouTube video to see RedLaser’s library results in action, and then download the $1.99 app through Apple’s iTunes app store.
