Resolution
You can only export search results which are saved in a list.
In WorldCat.org, you can save up to 10 hits of your search results at once in a list.
- Navigate to Worldcat.org and log in with your WorldCat account
- Enter your search query
- At the top of the screen, select which list you want to save your results to with the Save To [list] option, and click Save
- To view your list(s), navigate to your account at the top right, and in the Lists menu, select the list you want to export
- Click Export to CSV to download the export file
In Discovery, you can save 1 hit at a time. You can then export this list to a .csv file.
- Navigate to your institution's Discovery and log in with your account
- Enter your search query
- Click Save at any search result you want to export
- Navigate to My Items. You can optionally edit your saved query, move it to a list and deselect any results you do not want to export
- Click Cite and choose the desired export format to download the file
