OCLC WorldCat is an online union catalog of over 2 billion titles at 72,000 libraries in 172 countries and territories. The catalog of the Family History Library was made available via OCLC WorldCat in 2014.[1] Although it is the world’s largest bibliographic database for materials held around the world, OCLC WorldCat is not comprehensive.
