WorldCat Local is the mega-catalog! A one-stop shop, if you will, of library collections nationally and internationally.
Here at LSU Libraries we have made it easy for you to search our local library holdings and the holdings of all of the other WorldCat institutions simultaneously! It is as simple as clicking “Search with WorldCat Local” from the library homepage.
Aside from getting a better understanding of the breadth of information that is available locally and elsewhere on a topic, WorldCat also allows users to discover article citations from scholarly journals and magazines – a feature that is NOT available in the local LSU catalog. Article citations from the following sources are searchable in WorldCat Local (and this list should only continue to grow in #):
- ArticleFirst
- ERIC
- MEDLINE
- British Library Serials
- GPO
- JSTOR
A few highlights for you to chew on… explore the many fabulous features that the WorldCat catalog has to offer you. If you have any questions, as always, ask at LSU Libraries!
