Thousands of libraries may be searched from this one catalog; Interlibrary Loan requests can also be made.
WorldCat is a global library catalog which allows you to search for materials cataloged in most libraries throughout the world.
Access WorldCat from the Resource Gateway on the IU Libraries homepage or go directly to WorldCat
WorldCat is useful in your dissertation and thesis search for two purposes. Use it to:
- Verify and identify dissertations when you have only some bibliographic information.
- Search for dissertations and theses from around the globe that are not found in ProQuest.
To limit by thesis/dissertation, enter your search terms and then specify “thesis/dissertation” in the Content Type box.
If you are interested in an item that isn’t available at IU, request from Interlibrary Loan by clicking “Request through ILL” in the full record for the item.
