2. Choose Title Phrase search, and click on the limiter (below the search boxes) “Books.” In the search box, type a book title. Note the number of results.
(9) How many libraries worldwide have item #1? (485) Click the link. What is the top library? Since we own the book, the Brookings Public Library comes up first!
3. Click into result #1 and look at the full record. What is the call number (class descriptor)? What other information do you see?
The call number would be PS3602.U2645; Dewey: 813/.6 but we use author's last name. Does give a brief description of the book. WorldCat is a valuable resource that we use for cataloging and we use it at the circulation desk when Aleph is down to find materials in our collection.
