Answer

To access either the eBook or the call number from the WorldCat result list, simply click on the title link.

For eBooks, scroll down a bit until you see a link that says click here to access eBook. If you are off campus, you will be prompted to enter your student ID number and last name.

For print books, also click the title link. Scroll down a bit and you will see availability, the due date if checked out, and the call number.

At the top of the page is a link for citations. Click on that to copy and paste the citation in the style required for your class (probably either MLA or APA).
