Insert a WorldCat Entity identifier in a bibliographic record

Resumen

Every WorldCat Entity has a unqiue identifier known as a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). For bibliographic records without an identifier in a 100, 600, 647, 651, 700 or 758 field, you can search for and insert a $1 link with an appropriate identifier referencing a WorldCat Entity. Identifiers display in the $1 field as a clickable link, which will open in a new browser tab and take you directly to the reference in WorldCat Entities. For more information on interacting with the WorldCat Entities environment, see WorldCat Entities.
