Research 101: WorldCat

WorldCat

WorldCat is the Library catalog.  WorldCat includes the holdings of Busse Library and about 1100 other libraries worldwide. You can access WorldCat from the search boxes at the top of the Library webpage and and the Library link from Brightspace. You can search all of the libraries of the world or narrow your search to the holdings of Busse Library.  The tabs at the top of the search box allow you to limit your search to Articles, Books, or DVDs, or you can search for everything.

 

Once you have retrieved a set of records, you can limit that set of records by choosing an option on the left. You can limit by Library, format, author, date, database, etc.

 

Note: In number 3 above, the Call Number and the book's availability is listed below the title. When you locate a record that interests you, you can also click on the title to retrieve more information.
