New Database -- WorldCat

WorldCat is a global catalog of resources held by more than 60,000 libraries around the world. It’s the premier source of bibliographic records for more than 98 million titles representing more than a billion items. If you’re looking for information on publications in all formats other than individual magazine and journal articles, this is the best place to check. It also includes a growing number of electronic resources and digital objects.

Information seekers on the Web who visit Google, Yahoo, and other popular sites can discover items in the Clarion University Libraries through search-result links to WorldCat.org, where you identify your location. Select the library and you are redirected to the item record in PILOT, our online catalog of holdings. If you use social networking tools such as Facebook, you also have the ability to launch searches and obtain results with links to WorldCat.

If the Clarion libraries don’t have what you’re looking for, the publication information in WorldCat can be used to request it through our Interlibrary Loan service. In the coming months, we will be installing new software to make that process easier and quicker.The addition of WorldCat, the linking it supports, and the related improvements in interlibrary loan services are supported by the Student Technology Fee.
