WorldCat Identities
Thom Hickey at Outgoing describes a new research project at OCLC, WorldCat Identities. Interesting. I searched for Wright, Austin Tappan and got a page showing classification numbers used, works by him, works about him, a time-line of publications, audience level, and related names. Nice summary. Could be used in NACO work.
