WorldCat Identities

**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. That same year, OCLC began to develop the union catalog technology that would later evolve into WorldCat; the first catalog records were added in 1971.

In 2003, OCLC began the "Open WorldCat" pilot program, making shorter records from a some of WorldCat available to partner web sites and booksellers. 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 May 2019, WorldCat held over 450 million bibliographic records in 484 languages. Record over 2.8 billion physical and digital library items.

CITES

**CITES** (short for the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, also called the Washington Convention) is an agreement between many countries to protect endangered plants and animals from the dangers of international trade. 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. Up to 2025, 185 countries have ratified this Convention.     

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.

SNK

is a well known developer of video games. They are famous for their The King of Fighters series, Fatal Fury series, Metal Slug series, Samurai Shodown series, Psycho Soldier, Art of Fighting series, and much more games. They were founded on July 22, 1978 as **Shin Nihon Kikaku** by Eikichi Kawasaki and began by developing coin-op games. SNK would end up declaring bankruptcy on October 30, 2001. After bankruptcy proceedings began, SNK-related rights were auctioned off, and Playmore, a former affiliate company (later SNK Playmore → second generation SNK), won the bid. Currently, the company is still announcing sequels to some of SNK's works. Three Neo Geo Land stores near Esaka Station continued to operate even after SNK went bankrupt, but all of them were closed by 2005 due to a review of SNK Playmore's operations. Most of the site has been demolished and is now used as a parking lot, but only the site (building) of the second Esaka store remains, and is occupied by tenants. SNK Playmore is headquartered in Suita City, the same city as the old company, and in 2016 changed its name to "SNK Corporation", the same as the old company.

## Message 
SNK, the developer and inventor of the NeoGeo, are now out of business. On their *website*, the SNK team says goodbye and thanks all SNK fans. SNK had been supplying arcades with titles like Ikari Warriors and Prehistoric Isle since 1978, long before the NeoGeo. Today, Monday (October 29, 2001), which will probably go down in NeoGeo history as Black Monday, marks the end of the SNK era after 23 years. As a final gimmick, SNK is offering a wallpaper for download on their website, as a kind of farewell gift for fans.

Redlining

"residential security" map of Philadelphia, classifying various neighborhoods by estimated riskiness of mortgage loans.]]

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.
