Search WorldCat Discovery
What is WorldCat?
A search system that helps you discover items in collections at MCLA and other libraries worldwide.

Books, ebooks, articles, media, and more.
All items physically located within the library.
Content from many of our most popular databases - journal articles, ebooks, and media.
Items from other libraries worldwide that you can request through interlibrary loan.
How do I start using WorldCat?
Use

Searching in WorldCat
Enter your search terms.
When you see a list of results, use the options on the left to limit your search by format, author, date, and more.
The search defaults to search libraries worldwide. If you want to just search MCLA, change that setting.
Look at the example of a "anthropology of food" search below.
