Search UW WorldCat for Books

UW WorldCat: Search UW Libraries and beyond What is UW WorldCat?


UW Worldcat is especially useful when you want to search as broadly as possible for a topic or when you are seeking a relatively rare item that isn't likely to be available at the UW. It also facilitates borrowing books from other libraries.


Tips for searching UW WorldCat for Books:

  • Use the tabs to search just the book portion of UW Worldcat -- this will automatically omit book reviews, other articles and such from your search results.
  • When searching for a specific book use quotations around the first few words of the title
  • Getting too many irrelevant results? Use the toolbar on the left to narrow down your search.  You can limit by format, author, language, publication date, etc.
