    OCLC was founded in 1967 under Fred Kilgour's leadership and began developing the union catalog technology that would become WorldCat, with the first catalog records added in 1971. In 2003, OCLC began making abbreviated WorldCat records available to partners to increase accessibility of member libraries' collections. In 2005, OCLC staff began a wiki project allowing users to add commentary and information to WorldCat records, though it was later phased out. As of 2019, WorldCat contained over 450 million records in 484 languages representing over 2.8 billion physical and digital assets, and over 100 million people were included in the WorldCat persons dataset.

    OCLC was founded in 1967 under the leadership of Fred Kilgour.

    [7] That same year, OCLC began to develop the union


    catalog technology that would later evolve into WorldCat; the first catalog records were added in 1971.[7][8]
    In 2003, OCLC began the "Open WorldCat" pilot program, making abbreviated records from a subset of WorldCat
    available to partner web sites and booksellers, to increase the accessibility of its subscribing member libraries'
    collections.[9][10]
    In October 2005, the OCLC technical staff began a wiki project, WikiD, allowing readers to add commentary and
    structured-field information associated with any WorldCat record.[11] WikiD was later phased out, although WorldCat later
    incorporated user-generated content in other ways.[12][13]
    In 2006, it became possible for anyone to search WorldCat directly at its open website,[14] not only through the
    subscription FirstSearch interface where it had been available on the web to subscribing libraries for more than a
    decade before.[15] Options for more sophisticated searches of WorldCat have remained available through the FirstSearch
    interface.[14]
    In 2007, WorldCat Identities began providing pages for 20 million "identities", which are metadata about names—
    predominantly authors and persons who are the subjects of published titles.[16]
    In 2017, OCLC's WorldCat Search API was integrated into the cite tool of Wikipedia's VisualEditor, allowing Wikipedia
    editors to cite sources from WorldCat easily.[17][18]
    As of May 2019, WorldCat contained over 450 million bibliographic records in 484 languages, representing over 2.8
    billion physical and digital library assets,[5] and the WorldCat persons dataset (mined from WorldCat) included over 100
    million people.[19]
