OCLC--WorldCat

In 1991, The Bakken initiated the retrospective conversion of much of its card catalog into the OCLC union catalog, and since 1992 all current cataloging has been done on OCLC´s WorldCat; thus off-site researchers may use OCLC´s WorldCat terminals at their local public, college, or university library to search for Bakken holdings. Off-site researchers led to this page via WorldCat, Google, Yahoo!, and others, can search Books and Manuscripts of The Bakken, but should be aware that it contains only about half of the library´s holdings.  For Bakken holdings that appear on WorldCat but not on the list below, please contact the librarian, Elizabeth Ihrig, at 612-926-3878, ext. 227, or via e-mail using her last name @thebakken.org.

Search OCLC´s WorldCat at the link shown below. Each linked result leads to a "Find in a Library" information page. From there, you can enter geographic information such as a zip code or state, receive a list of nearby libraries that own the item, and link right to a library´s online catalog record to initiate circulation activity or access electronic content directly.
