Symptom

  • You are unable to find a title in a specific WorldCat knowledge base collection

Applies to

  • WorldShare Collection Manager

Resolution

There are several reasons why you may not find a title you expect to be in a specific collection. First, try the following:

  • Search by the title's ISBN
  • Search by an expected OCLC number (OCN)
  • If the title contains a colon, remove the colon and everything after it to see if it is present under the shorter name

If you still can't find the record by title, contact OCLC Support with your library symbol, the collection, the title you're looking for, and, preferably, its ISBN or ISSN.
