Template documentationUsage
This template generates a link for looking up a (print or online) publication in WorldCat by its OCLC Number.
Up to nine parameters may be used for situations where a unique publication appears more than once in the OCLC union catalog.
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.
