WorldCat.org adds bookmarking, citation formatting for lists

"OCLC continues to put social functionality into WorldCat.org in order to build a social network of the world's library users. Among the latest enhancements: Citation management for lists. Users can generate citations for their personalized lists of WorldCat-cataloged items in one of five common citation styles: APA, Chicago, Harvard, MLA or Turabian. They also can export the list in their selected citation style. Exported list citations can be saved locally in HTML, Rich Text or RIS format, and are compatible with Endnote bibliographic software or the RefWorks research management Web tool. Add a bookmark option. This new feature lets users add library-owned items to bookmarks at popular social Web sites, such as Digg, del.icio.us, Facebook, Yahoo! and Google"
