Help Users Find Books at their Reading Level

WorldCat has teamed up with MetaMetrics to offer “Find a Book” to help connect readers with books appropriate for their reading level, using the popular Lexile Framework for Reading.

Readers can either enter their Lexile measure or their grade and if they find reading materials difficult or easy. When they find the books they’re interested in, they connect to their local library through WorldCat.org and check availability.

Once users are at WorldCat.org, they can create a list, add ratings, get automatic citations for an item or do other social networking activities.
