I just want to alert everyone that apparently not all California libraries are currently accessible through CalCat as I recently discovered that my new employer, the Mill Valley Public Library, is among the missing. I know we are working on it and eventually all California library collections will most likely be accessible through CalCat, but there are probably others that are not included in the database currently.

Very cool. Search all CA libraries and others around the world all at
once:
http://www.calcat.org/

 From the press release:
Sacramento- Californians can now find items in libraries throughout the
state and world thanks to the new, online California Libraries Catalog
(CalCat), a super-sized catalog that allows customers to view state and
worldwide library collections without leaving home. CalCat is a part of
WorldCat, a global database that lists more than 62 million records of
items owned by libraries in the U.S. and 81 countries.
