Catalog of books and other materials held by libraries worldwide.
WorldCat is the OCLC union catalog, containing more than 43 million records describing books and other items owned by libraries around the world. Each record contains library holdings. WorldCat covers thousands of subjects and includes records for items as far back as 1000 B.C. Materials covered in the catalog include: books, internet resources, computer data files, computer programs, films, journals, magazines, manuscripts, maps, musical scores, newspapers, slides, sound recordings, and videotapes. WorldCat does not include individual article titles or stories in journals, magazines, newspapers, or book chapters.
Location, Call #, Status
When you search the catalog and click on a title of interest, the item record includes information you need to locate the item: Location, Call #, and Status. The call number is a unique identifier for the book, printed on the spine or on the bottom left corner of the front of the book. Make sure you write down the entire call number before you try to find a book.
