WorldCat and LibGuides are tools that can help library users avoid getting lost or confused when searching for information by providing powerful search and discovery features. WorldCat leverages the power of indexing, ranking, subject headings and search limits to help users find relevant results. LibGuides allows libraries to create subject and course guides that can be searched from the library catalog and are automatically optimized for mobile devices. Both tools provide "nightlights" to help users navigate information resources.
