Basic search

Discover how to perform a basic search for bibliographic, authority, local bibliographic data (LBD), local holdings (LHR), and unresolved records in WorldShare Record Manager.

You can find records quickly using a basic search. For example, a basic search can be useful when you have an ISBN or are trying to locate a record that was saved in-progress without adding or replacing the WorldCat record. Basic search allows you to search for authority, bibliographic, local bibliographic data, and local holdings records.

Search for an authority record

For a list of available authority files and indexes, see Record Manager: Authorities Guide.

  1. From the Data Type drop-down list, select Authority Records.
  2. From the Scope drop-drop-down list, select an authority file.
  3. From the Index drop-down list, select an index.
  4. In the Term(s) text field, enter your search terms. The text field will expand to fit your search terms if needed.
  5. Click Search. The Search results page appears with the matching authorities results listed in a table with this information:
    • Name - The name of the authority and its associated See (4xx) and See Also (5xx) references.
       Note: See and See Also references are displayed as links if they lead to an authority record. Click the link to open the authority record in the MARC editor.
    • Field - The field in which the authority appears.
    • Description - Lists information about personal, corporate/conference, or geographic names.
  6. Click the name of the matching item to view the authority file record.
