Worldcat.org adds sorting and citations!

WorldCat.org opens millions of library records and services to users from all over the World Wide Web. WorldCat.org recently added a sorting feature where users can sort by author (alphabetical by last name), title (alphabetical), and date (newest-to-oldest and oldest-to-newest). Also, every item has a "Cite this item" link that creates bibliographic citations in five common styles: APA, Chicago, Harvard, MLA and Turabian. Of course, the citations are not always 100% accurate, so confirming the citations via a style guide is important. For information regarding citation and sorting, contact your local St. Petersburg College Library.
