How do I use WorldCat?
WorldCat is similar to a library catalog. You can search by keyword, title, author, subject and more. There are two ways to search WorldCat, through UMass Boston WorldCat and OCLC First Search. You will find the same items but the search and viewing options are different. • UMass Boston WorldCat provides a simpler interface. Libraries are listed by location which is determined by the user. • OCLC First Search offers more search options and terms. Items available at UMass Boston are highlighted. For more detailed information and instructions, view our Introduction to WorldCat.
