I've been using this website for years to search for OER alternatives based on ISBN#

https://library.calstate.edu/textbook

For several months now I get an error saying that it cannot connect to WorldCat API

Does anyone know if there's a fix in the works or a replacement out there for this vital resource?

Thanks,
-Elaine
