Open content in WorldCat Discovery search results
Open Access filter
The Open Access content filter narrows a user's search over the WorldCat database. Open Access results can be filtered on the Advanced Search screen and in search filters using Filter and refine search results.
The Open Access filter searches for records cataloged with the recent Open Access for URLs MARC standard. The Open Access filter uses the op: 0 index. Users can also manually enter op: 0 into the search bar to return these records.
