Now a broad base of Web users performing searches at WorldCat.org can discover article citations as well as relevant WorldCat records for books, audio and video recordings, and other content formats.
More than 30 million article citation records from the four databases were indexed in late March. WorldCat control or "accession" numbers were assigned to the records in order to allow citations to appear in search results.
These records were not added to the WorldCat database.
What users can do
Article records link to fulfillment options appropriate to a user based on their IP address. IP information determines what nearby WorldCat libraries offer access to the article and which options are displayed to the user via the record.
Options may include:
Links to full text in subscription-based online databases;
Links to library-maintained resolvers for access to available articles; or
Links to an article delivery service.
As with checkout and other local-system functionality also reachable via WorldCat.org, article fulfillment links may require a user to authenticate access with a library account.
Full-featured FirstSearch access to articles still available GPO, ArticleFirst, Medline and ERIC continue to be available for full-featured searching by individual database in the OCLC FirstSearch service.
In FirstSearch, researchers may search these databases individually or combine them with up to two additional databases for cross-database searching.
The FirstSearch interface also supports flexible options such as searching indexes specific to each database.
To use GPO, ArticleFirst, and Medline you will need the GALILEO password which is available from your Georgia librarian.
