WorldCat® widget in the EBSCO Discovery Service

	Help your users find what they need in your discovery interface Expand WorldCat access to your users within EDS

The WorldCat® widget in the EBSCO Discovery Service™ helps your end users increase their chances of finding the exact items they’re looking for. This tool will enable the display of other WorldCat libraries that hold the item–all within your existing EBSCO Discovery Service interface. Now, you can expand the EBSCO Discovery Service to include WorldCat access without requiring end users to leave your library’s website.  

Using the WorldCat Search API you can quickly make this new tool available in your library.

	1. Know your WorldCat Search API key. It is: Dillard University TSArDNesGMvgSooHSbmS7tSbJTS3V0QqGm53yDqnaUEuhRjlGQppbmXl3XQ9Q1xYH61jGFvU3vDs7Hh0 2. Determine the following for each widget you want to create: ·         Will you be setting up an Affiliated Libraries widget or a Nearby Libraries widget?         ~ To set up an Affiliated Library widget you will need a list of affiliated library OCLC symbols ·         The link text that will display in results for a WorldCat item ·         Determine if you will indicate an ILL provider. 3. Follow the instructions for creating the widget within EBSCOadmin.
