WorldCat Discovery (WCD): Quick Start

SU Libraries provides WorldCat Discovery, which searches for print books and ebooks, music scores, media, journal articles, single journals, and much more.

What is WorldCat Discovery?

A search system that helps you discover items in collections at SU and other libraries worldwide.

What does WorldCat Discovery search?

• Books, ebooks, articles, media, and more.
• All items physically located within the library.
• Content from many of our most popular databases — journal articles, ebooks, and media.
• Items from other libraries worldwide that you can request through interlibrary loan.

How do I start using WorldCat Discovery?

• Use the search box on the SU Library homepage.
• You can start searching with Simple Search, or you can go to Advanced Search.

• Enter your search terms.
• When you see a list of results, use the options on the left to limit your search by format, author, date, and more.
• Look at the example of a "music education" search below.
