"Find a Book" with Lexile measures and WorldCat.org
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. Once they find the books they're interested in, they connect to your library through WorldCat.org and check availability.

Will you be creating a link to "Find a Book" from the worldcat.org site? If one is already there, I could not find it.
