How is holdings information determined?

Applies to

Answer

The holdings information for individual bibliographic records is maintained in real-time in the WorldCat database and appears as soon as holdings are added to records. These databases are Ebooks, GPO, SCIPIO, WorldCat, WorldCat Dissertations, and all Group catalogs.

The holdings for articles are compiled from all journals with that ISSN in the WorldCat database.
