Template:OCLC

Usage

This template generates a link for searching a (print or online) publication by its OCLC Number.

Up to nine parameters may be used for situations where a unique publication appears more than once on the OCLC website.

Multiple publications are separated by ",", but the word between the last two publications can be configured using the 'leadout' parameter (f.e. 'leadout=and', 'leadout=or', 'leadout=as well as' or 'leadout=,'.

It is also possible to link to all editions of a publication at once using the 'show=all' parameter (whereby "all" is a special token, causing the display of "(all editions)". The text between parentheses can be changed by specifying a different text using the 'show' parameter.
