Has #Worldcat fully retreated behind log-in with user accounts? Trying to access titles by their #OCLC ID from our institutional IP range at HU Berlin, I get the following response:

As with most of our events this year, the discussion was driven by our translation project of the OCLC Passage white paper. Due to the nature of LightBox Library, its audience aligns closely with the paper’s original target audiences. Their specialization in photography also allowed us to dive deeper into the case studies presented in the paper and ground the discussion in real-world practice.

Looks like Worldcat is getting shittier. I clicked on "Show more information" and it's demanding an account.

Projects like these are only possible thanks to the terrific #librarians and #cataloguers sharing data openly through well documented APIs and formats. The same cannot be said of all aggregating platforms feeding off of the commons. Even though we recorded thousands of #OCLC IDs on #Wikidata, #worldcat cannot be queried for the dimensional data of physical artefacts without an institutional subscription to their APIs—which not a single academic library in Germany seems to do (rightfully so imo. one should not pay for access to data one contributes pro bono)

well, the latest order in response to the #OCLC motion for default judgement is interesting in that it states that "worldcat . org and its data is the subject matter of federal copyright law".
