Available record lists and information displayed - Table

List	List Type	Description
WorldCat lists
WorldCat Search List By default, results are displayed according to the number of records retrieved. Navigate to Cataloging > Search > WorldCat > Settings to change the display.	Group List 101 to 1,500 records retrieved	Groups a large number of search results (101 to 1,500 records) by type of material (books, computer files, etc.) and year of publication to make the results easier to manage.  Each entry represents a group of 2 to 100 records.   Note: If a search retrieves more than 1,500 records, you receive an error message that too many records matched your search. Limit your search and try again.
	Truncated List 6 to 100 records retrieved	Each entry represents a record. Shows various data such as main entry, title, publisher, publication date. The sort order and the information extracted for display in the list depend on the index you searched.    Note: Truncated lists can contain more than 100 records if records retrieved are for a single year. If more than 100 records are retrieved, the system tells you the total number found and tells you how to view the next 100.
	Brief List 2 to 5 records retrieved	Each entry represents a record and gives a short (usually 1- to 3-line) description of the record. The list is sorted: First by records with no main entry (1xx field) with secondary sort by field 245. Then alphabetically by field 1xx with secondary sort by field 245.
	Notes on WorldCat search results: If a search retrieves only one record, the full record displays. The title bar of a WorldCat search results list displays the search you entered by indexes searched. The title bar of a WorldCat group list displays the total number of records retrieved in all groups. Toggle between displaying a list as brief or truncated while you view the list (View > List Type > Brief [or Truncated]). All windows showing WorldCat search results close when you do another WorldCat search. See details about the data displayed in WorldCat lists.
WorldCat Browse List	Browse list	Shows a list of 25 terms that match or most closely match the term you entered. The closest match is highlighted. Shows the number of records for each entry. Double-click a term in the list, or click to highlight a term and press <Enter>, to open a record or, if multiple records match the term, to open a list of records. The list that opens is determined by the search results setting available in Cataloging > Search > WorldCat > Settings. To see more terms that precede or follow the 25 displayed: Press <Page up> or <Page down>. Or Scroll one entry at a time. Press <Up arrow> or <Down arrow>. See details about the data displayed in WorldCat browse lists.
LC Authority file lists
LC Authority File Search List	Brief list of up to 100 matches at a time	Each entry in the list represents a record and gives a description of the record. Displays entries for 2 - 100 records. If more than 100 records are retrieved, the system tells you the total number found and tells you how to view the next 100. If you selected Show See References and/or Show See Also References check boxes in the Search LC Names and Subjects window, the list shows all See and/or See Also references for each record in the list. The list is sorted in alphabetical order by main entry. See more about the data displayed in LC authority file lists.
LC Names and Subjects History Search List	Brief list of up to 100 matches at a time	Each entry in the list represents a record and gives a single-line description of the record. Displays entries for 2 - 100 records. If more than 100 records are retrieved, the system tells you the total number found and tells you how to view the next 100.  Note: Access to authority history records is read-only. You cannot take actions from lists or displayed records. You can copy and paste data or print displayed records.
LC Authority File Root Browse List	Browse list	Shows a list of 50 terms that match or most closely match the browse term you entered. The closest match is highlighted. Shows the number of records represented by each browse term entry. Double-click a term in the list (or click to highlight a term and press <Enter>) to open a record or a list of records, if multiple records match the term. If more than 50 records match the browse term, the client displays the first set of 50. To see the next or previous set of 50 records: Press <Page down> or <Page up>. You may have to press more than once, depending on the size of your client window display. Scroll one entry at a time: Press the <Up arrow> or <Down arrow>. At the last or first entry of a set of 50, the display changes to the next or previous set, respectively.     Note: The first set of 50 records is numbered 1 through 50. The next set displayed restarts numbering with 1. The client does not number the entire list consecutively, as it does other record lists. Provides a text box at the top of the list to enter an expanded scan. See more about the data displayed in LC authority file browse lists.
LC Authority File Expanded Browse List (Opens only if you enter an expanded term in the Browse Authority File window or in the Expanded Term box of the results list.)	Browse list	Shows a list of titles that match or most closely match the phrase you entered. Shows the number of records for each heading entry. Highlights the closest match. Under the closest match, shows an expanded list of subheadings that match or most closely match the expanded term you entered.
LC Names and Subjects History Browse List	Browse list	Shows a list of headings that match or most closely match the term you entered. Shows the number of records for each heading.

Online lists - save files and constant data files
Online Bibliographic Save File Search List Online Bibliographic Constant Data Search List Online Authority Save File Search List Online Authority Constant Data Search List	Brief list of up to 100 matches at a time	Each entry in the list represents a record and gives a single-line description of the record. Displays entries for 2 - 100 records. If more than 100 records are retrieved, the system tells you the total number found and tells you how to view the next 100.  Default sort order depends on the type of list: Online bibliographic save file list: descending order by save file number (number the system assigns when you save a record) Online bibliographic constant data list: alphabetical order by constant data name Online authority save file list: alphabetical order by main entry Online authority constant data list: alphabetical order by constant data name
Local file lists (access while logged on or offline) - save files and constant data files
Local Bibliographic Save File Search List Local Bibliographic Constant Data Search List Local Bibliographic Constant Data Search List Local Authority Constant Data Search List	Local file list	Continuous list of all records in the local file (limit 9,999 records per file). Default sort order depends on the type of list: Local bibliographic save file: descending order by save file number (assigned when you save a record) Local bibliographic constant data: alphabetical order by constant data name Local authority file: alphabetical order by main entry Local authority constant data: Alphabetical order by constant data name
See more about the data in lists of save file records or constant data records: Bibliographic save files Bibliographic constant data Authority save files Authority constant data  Note: One window each of the types of lists in the table can remain open simultaneously. However, when you do a second search in the same file–for example, a second WorldCat search, the new search results list replaces the first list in the window (to retrieve the original list, you must do the first search again). Keep multiple lists of the same type open by pinning (View > Pinned).
