Welcome to WorldCat
Basic
(Presentation instructions: Left-click mouse to proceed through the presentation)
In this short presentation, we will highlight how to use WorldCat and some of the
advantages to using WorldCat
The Bethel Seminary Library
Homepage
Use WorldCat when you want to search for books in CLICnet and
beyond.
Got a question? You can call or email us.
Let's learn how to search for a book using the WorldCat searching tool
First, click on the “WorldCat" link
To search simply enter your search in the box and hit
“Search”
This is the main search page of WorldCat
Please note: Some items at Bethel Seminary Library will not show up in the WorldCat search. For a complete list of library holdings, please go to CLICnet
The advanced search will give you more searching
options
You can also limit your search to just CLICnet (search only Bethel’s consortium)
Let’s do a simple search to see how it works…
Amos and justice
There is a lot of information you can get on this page…
TitlesAuthors
Book covers
Book locations
You can use the “facets” on the side to reduce the number of book results
To get more specific
information, click on the title of the
book
This page will tell you a lot about the specific book.
Bibliographic information
And if you scroll down…
This box will have more bibliographic information, notes, and sometimes the table of contents
This box will help you find similar books based on their subject matter
This area will tell you if the book is available through the CLICnet catalog.
Let’s look at a different book…
If the book is available at “BSEM Main Collection” come to the library and pick it up. If the book is not
available in St Paul, but available somewhere else in CLICnet, hit the “Request through CLICnet” button.
Here’s the call number
Let’s click on the “Request” button and look at the next page…
Enter your name and library barcode number here
Then hit “Submit”

**************
We are now in the CLICnet catalog
Pick where you want
to pick up your books
(usually Bethel, but
you don’t have to)
When the book is ready at the location you picked,
you will get an email letting you know that it is ready
for pickup.
When you are logged into the CLICnet
Catalog, you can see what books you have checked out, renew them online and also
cancel holds.(Remember, you can also access CLICnet
from the Library homepage)

You may also find some articles listed in WorldCat. These can be accessed starting at the “Journal List” or requesting them through Interlibrary loan if we don’t have them in our collection. More on this in a few minutes…
Let’s look at one more book…
This book is not available in CLICnet (our library system)
If you would like the library to find a copy of the book, click on the Interlibrary Loan button
Log into Interlibrary Loan

what you want to do.

That’s It! Remember, if you need help call, email or stop in the library for more help – we are here to help.
