Discover how to view all WorldCat holdings for a bibliographic record in WorldShare Record Manager.

The WorldCat Holdings screen allows you to view which libraries in WorldCat have added their holdings to a bibliographic record. You can access the WorldCat Holdings screen from any of the following screens:

  • Condensed Search Results - Click the Other Libraries link to open the WorldCat Holdings screen.
  • MARC 21 editor - Click the Other Libraries link to open the WorldCat Holdings screen.

1. Tabs

The tabs across the top of the screen allow you to view WorldCat holdings by specific groups. Click a tab to view:

  • All WorldCat Holdings
  • Participaciones en mi región
  • Holdings in My State
  • Holdings in My Group - This tab only displays if your library is part of a cataloging group. It can only be configured for a single cataloging group. A cataloging group is a group of libraries that would like to view each other’s holdings from the Holdings in My Group tab. Contact OCLC Support to create a cataloging group.
