How can an Open Access link be displayed prominently in worldcat.org?

Symptom

  • A link to the URL with Open Access content can only be found after clicking through a search result's all editions and formats and more information.

Applies to

  • worldcat.org

Resolution

Adding a $7 0 to the field 856 in the MARC record will help OA visibility. As a result the link "Access Free / OPEN ACCESS" will appear on the right hand side of the search result. Also selecting "Open Access" under the "Open Content" section at the top of the left side bar will reduce the search results to titles with free and open access.
