WordCat (Specifically, the FirstSearch version, and how to use it to find publisher, translation, etc. information)

Ok, first you want to go to FirstSearch WorldCat. There are also links to it on the English and Textual Histories guides.

WorldCat is a union catalog - what that means is that not only does it have the records from UTArlington library, it also has the records from many, many other public and academic libraries worldwide (over 32 million records).

FirstSearch refers to the specific interface. There are other ways to access WorldCat (for example there is a free public version) but the directions I am going to give apply specifically to the FirstSearch interface.
