WorldCat Discovery - Recommended Settings for PALNI Libraries

PALNI’s recommended settings for WorldCat Discovery

WorldCat Discovery Search Results and Detailed Views

WorldCat Discovery and WorldCat Local > Full Text and Open Access Links > WorldCat Local Search Results // WorldCat Discovery Search Results and Detailed Views

All of these collections are available to activate in Collection Manager as well as in Service Configuration. Each school will have its own preferred method for administering these collections, so we do not have a PALNI wide recommendation for HathiTrust or the Internet Archive / Project Gutenberg.

We do recommend that all libraries select the WorldCat Digital Collection Gateway to allow access to CONTENTdm items.

Additionally, we recommend either selecting Government and Educational documents here in Service Configuration or activating those collections in Collection Manager.

Need assistance with Collection Manager? Just ask Lisa!  Email her at kblm@palni.libanswers.com with any questions.
