quick_search-world_cat_discovery_api_searcher

WorldCat Discovery API searcher for NCSU Quick Search

Installation

Include the searcher gem in your Gemfile:

gem 'quick_search-world_cat_discovery_api_searcher'

Run bundle install:

bundle install

This gem provides two separate WorldCat Discovery searchers:

• world_cat_discovery_api_searcher: A searcher that queries WorldCat Discovery for all item types
• world_cat_discovery_api_article_searcher: A searcher that limits the WorldCat Discovery query to articles and book chapters

The world_cat_discovery_api_article_searcher has special handling to return a direct link to the article (instead of to the WorldCat catalog entry), where possible.
