Technical Difficulties with WorldCat

We are experiencing some technical difficulties with Macalester WorldCat displaying Mac materials. Macalester materials will show up in a display of materials owned by CLIC, but will not show up as a result of limiting a search to Macalester only. You can also do a search in ClassicCLICnet, but you must do a search for all libraries and then check holdings for Mac materials. We will probably not have a solution until sometime Monday, Nov. 2. This problem will not affect searching for materials in other CLIC libraries and placing requests/holds. We apologize for the inconvenience.
