OCLC Codes Search

Instructions

  • Use the filter fields above the table to filter for particular results. The filters are an AND search.
    Example: If you enter Mexico in the Country filter and Martinez in the Composer filter, you will see results for all records from Mexico where the composer’s name contains Martinez.
  • As you type in any of the filter boxes, the results table will automatically update and show you matching records. You don’t have to click any search button.
  • To view all detail for a particular record, simply click on it. This will open a pop-up window that shows all information for that entry.
  • To see additional pages of results, use the page navigation right below the table. 
  • If you are using a phone or tablet, you should view this page in landscape mode. 

Notes on searching

This search will not correct for spelling errors.

Enter your search terms in only one or two fields. If you enter search terms in more than one field, any results you get will have to match what you entered in all of those fields. Be as accurate as possible in your spellings, Do not include any punctuation or quotation marks in your entries. If you get no results, reduce the number of fields in which you search.

Note: This database includes OCLC Codes. OCLC (The Ohio Consortium of Library Catalogues) has been incorporated into Worldcat since the library locations of many scores in this Index were collected. The OCLC codes are used here to save the time and space that would be needed to decode them. Many more libraries have contributed to the Worldcat, so you will want to search that web site (it is free) to find more locations if you want them. Worldcat does not use nearly as many codes as OCLC did, making it a much easier resource to use.
