How to tell if a record in Discovery is a WorldCat record or a central index record

Applies to
  • WorldCat Discovery
Answer

Each record in WorldCat Discovery has an OCLC Number/Unique Identifier listed on the full record page. You can tell if the record is a WorldCat record by searching for the OCLC Number/Unique Identifier in WorldShare Record Manager or Connexion client to see if there is a matching bibliographic record with that OCN. If no matching results are found, then the record is from the central index.
