WorldCat Local single-search access expands with metasearch functionality<http://visit.oclc.org/t?r=896&c=1861674&l=30085&ctl=2BD7721:C073EF2ACA43AF340059053A2CFA9EE2D6A387371AADFFF5&>

WorldCat Local metasearch represents a new approach for consolidated access to library resources. The combination of a rich central index of content in WorldCat, WorldCat.org and FirstSearch databases with a growing number of well-known, remotely-indexed databases delivers a single, integrated set of search results to users. Users also get the items they need more quickly through a variety of smart delivery options. Metasearch is available at no additional charge to all libraries that subscribe to the WorldCat Local service.

Despite prolonged global recession, an increasing number of people are spending on brands that have social purpose<http://visit.oclc.org/t?r=896&c=1861674&l=30085&ctl=2BD7723:C073EF2ACA43AF340059053A2CFA9EE2D6A387371AADFFF5&>

New findings released from the 3rd annual Edelman goodpurpose(tm) Consumer Study, a survey of 6,000 people in 10 countries, revealed that during this recession, 57 percent globally say a company or brand has earned their business because it has been doing its part to support good causes (with Asian countries coming in highest with China [85 percent] and India [84 percent]). Two out of three (67 percent) globally also say they would switch brands if another brand of similar quality supported a good cause, peaking in Brazil (83 percent) and Italy (74 percent). The study also found that 83 percent of people are willing to change consumption habits if it can help make the world a better place to live, indicating a startling consumer shift and trend away from traditional status markers like big houses and luxury cars and toward identification with social purpose brands.
