1. Facets

Use the facets to filter your results by Open Content, Format, Author/Creator, Language, Content Type, Publication Year, Audience, and/or Subject.

To filter your results:

  1. Select a facet category.
  2. Select the check box next to the filter(s) you want to apply in the category. Results filter automatically.
  3. (Optional) Repeat steps 1 and 2 for additional facet categories.
    • When you select a filter, all subfilters are automatically selected.
    • All filters are applied to your search using AND and OR logic (e.g., selecting Article updates your search to [original search query] AND (Article OR Downloadable Article), as the Article filter has a Downloadable Article subfilter.).

Image display in WorldCat.org

OCLC does not load cover art for individual titles due to the large volume of titles covered in WorldCat, but instead we load large files from a variety of providers, with whom we have contractual relationships.

Los títulos que no incluyan carátula mostrarán las imágenes por defecto que aparecen a continuación.

5. Open Access

If an Open Access version exists for an item, the Access Free button will appear below the item overview. Click Access Free to view the item in a new tab.

6. Formats & Editions

If there are other formats and/or editions of the item available, they will appear below the item overview.

  • Click a format (e.g., ebook) to view the Item Details screen for that format.
  • Click Formats & Editions to view all available formats and editions for an item. An Editions screen opens displaying all available editions and formats. Click an edition title to view the Item Details screen for that edition.
    • The Editions screen allows you to sort the available editions and formats by:
      • Most Widely Held (default)
      • Date (Most Recent)
      • Date (Least Recent)
        Nota:

        The Year column displays date of publication subfield data from fields 260 or 264 subfield $c of your bibliographic record. Both Year sort options look at the data in field 008/7-10. If no data is present in field 008/7-10, some items may appear out of order by date.

        Example - When selecting either Year sort option, an item that has a publication date of 2016 but an undefined field 008/7-10 will appear beneath an item that has a publication of 2015 and a defined field 008/7-10 that matches the data in 260 or 264 $c.

See format/document type values and codes for more information about formats.

If your search returns more than 10 results, the number of results per page drop-down list and page navigation buttons appear at the bottom of the results list.

  • Select a number from the Results per page drop-down list to change the number of results you see per page. By default, 10 results are displayed at a time.
