I searched for an item's OCLC Entry ID in Discovery and the wrong item came up
Symptom
- You searched for an item's OCLC Entry ID in Discovery and the item didn't show in the search results list
Applies to
- WorldCat Discovery
Resolution
If you search for an OCLC Entry ID, Discovery thinks you are searching for an OCLC number or unique identifier, so it will return the item that matches the OCLC number or unique identifier. This item will not match the item you are looking for. Please make sure to search for the item's OCLC number instead.
