There are lots of libraries using OCLC's different web services. You
can see some examples by going to
http://www.oclc.org/developer/applications . The Developer Network
also provides many code examples using the various web services via
our Subversion repository -
http://worldcat.org/devnet/code/devnetDemos/ . All of these are
available under an Apache 2 license so the community is welcome to
reuse them.
If you want information on a specific web service, please let me know
and I'm happy to share what I have with you.
