Applies to

Answer

Check your online catalog settings to verify a few things:

  1. Sign into the OCLC service configuration
  2. Click >WorldCat Registry >Online Catalog
  3. Click Test next to any Online Catalog Direct links that have been set.  Verify that the test goes to the record view in your catalog.  Reconfigure the Online Catalog Direct links that do not resolve as expected.  You may need to contact the catalog vendor for link-scheme support.
  4. Verify that the setting for Online Catalog Direct to Multiple OCLC Numbers has been left blank.
