Open the Find a Library (WorldCat.org) view of a record

Display a bibliographic record currently open in the client in the Find in a Library® service at WorldCat.org.

The Find in a Library record view gives locations of WorldCat libraries that hold the work described, along with links that take you directly to library OPACs. Or access cover art, information on alternative formats (large print, audiobooks, etc.), user reviews, and other evaluative content.

To display a Connexion client record in the Find in a Library view, navigate to Tools > Find in a Library or press <Alt><T><F>. Your default browser opens to the Find in a Library view of the record.

Open a local holdings maintenance session

Open and maintain LHRs for bibliographic records displayed in the client (Tools > Launch Local Holdings Maintenance).

The client opens the Connexion browser, logs you on, and displays the local holdings record(s) (LHRs) or a list of LHRs attached to the bibliographic record currently open in the client.

Automatic logon uses the general default authorization and password you assigned in Tools > Options > Authorizations or the specific authorization you assigned to a local file in File > Local File Manager / Authorization.

See Launch OCLC cataloging-related services from Connexion client for more information.

Open a WebDewey-only session from the client

If you subscribe to WebDewey, you can open a WebDewey-only session directly from the client (Tools > Launch WebDewey).

The client automatically logs you on using the default authorization and password you set up for interactive logon (Tools > Options > Authorizations).

Your default authorization for interactive logon must be associated with a WebDewey subscription.
