WorldCat Identities

WorldCat Identities is a beta site (don’t web tools all seem to be, anymore? perhaps a good thing, as continual tweaking is good for the soul, as well as a service) that is a focused search tool for authors.

The best I can recommend is type in a few authors and see what you get. If you can’t think of someone right off, use the tag cloud… or try this.

I am sensing that if OCLC were to put all of the interesting tools it has been creating into one user-friendly mega-tool (with a few new toys to fill in the gaps), that the library world might be in for quite a shake-up.
