Locate items in the library with StackMap

Learn how to locate items in your library using StackMap with WorldCat Discovery.

Please see StackMap for configuration information.

StackMap links 

Once enabled, StackMap links will appear with the configured button text on search results, the Access Options panel, the local copies list, and the Browse the Shelf section of the item detail record.
