WorldCat is a union catalog that lists the collections of 17,900 libraries in 123 countries and territories that participate in the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) global cooperative. It is operated by OCLC, Inc. The subscribing member libraries work together to maintain WorldCat's database. It is the world's largest bibliographic database. OCLC makes WorldCat itself available for free to libraries, but the catalog is also used for other subscription OCLC services (such as resource sharing and collection management). WorldCat is used by the general public and by librarians for cataloging and research. History. OCLC was founded in 1967 under the leadership of Fred Kilgour.

OCLC did this so that subscribing member libraries' collections would become more accessible. In October 2005, the OCLC technical staff began a wiki project called WikiD. It let readers add comments and structured-field information to any WorldCat record. WikiD was later phased out, although WorldCat later incorporated user-generated content in other ways. In 2006, it became possible for anyone to search WorldCat directly at its open website, It had been available on the web to subscribing libraries for more than ten years already. Options for more sophisticated searches of WorldCat have remained available through the FirstSearch interface. In 2007, WorldCat Identities began showing pages for 20 million "identities."

It was created after a decision made in 1963 at a meeting of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).  The main goal of CITES is to make sure that trading animals and plants between countries does not put their survival in danger. CITES bans people from buying and selling certain animals that are listed in the rules, and requires a permit for buying and selling certain other kinds of animals.  Countries started signing it on 3 March 1973. CITES started to have effect for the countries that originally agreed to it on 1 July 1975. Because it is an agreement between countries, it did not take effect in a country until that country agreed to it. Different countries agreed to it at different times.  CITES helps protect over 38,000 species of animals and plants, giving them different levels of protection.  As of April 2022, the Secretary-General of CITES is Ivonne Higuero.

In the United States and Canada, redlining is the process of denying services to residents of specific neighborhoods or communities, usually neighborhoods with non-White people, either directly or by raising prices. It is often seen as a modern day version of segregation.  The best known examples of redlining have involved denial of financial services such as banking or insurance. In the United States in the middle of the twentieth century, banks considered it risky to give mortgages to people in neighborhoods where most people were in ethnic minority groups, so they made them pay more money or refused to give them mortgages at all. As a result, ethnic minorities accumulated less wealth than White people. Redlining has also occurred in when other services such as health care (see also Race and health) or even supermarkets have been denied to residents.
