Fulfillment and discovery options
The item detail page shows fulfillment and discovery options, as well as bibliographic information for the selected search result. For more information about the bibliographic information on the item detail screen, see Item bibliographic data display.
Access Options
The Access Options panel looks at all access options and presents the user with the best digital and physical access option for the item. This allows the user to quickly identify the best options available to them for obtaining the item.
To customize the Access Options text in the fulfillment panel in the WorldCat Discovery interface, see Item Detail Settings. Choose a display label of up to 25 characters to fit the needs of your institution or leave the default text of Access Options as the display.
The user selects the electronic access button or the physical access button configured in the Place Hold/Request Buttons module of the OCLC Service Configuration. The user is then redirected to the resource or completes the local or group place hold form or the configured interlibrary loan form.
The Access Options panel:
- Checks local and group circulation holdings and availability and then displays the appropriate access option.
- Connects the user to the appropriate request form, either the local or group place hold form or the interlibrary loan form.
- Pulls together edition availability to show access options for the edition group.
The best electronic access option displays first, followed by the holding statement and Place Hold or ILL Request button for the best physical access option.
For records with multiple parts, volumes, or issues, the Access Options panel displays a unique holdings summary when they have been entered in Connexion Connexion or WorldShare Record Manager individually or by data loads, or built using the automated holdings summary feature in WorldShare Record Manager to describe the contents of the local holdings record(s).
- If the holdings summary exceeds one line users will see a truncated display followed by an ellipsis.
If the Promote a single location setting is enabled in the Search Results Setting accordion of the OCLC Service Configuration > WorldCat Discovery and WorldCat Local > Search Settings module, a single location will display in the Access Options panel.
- When the setting is enabled (default), the interface displays the first available item.
- Quando questa impostazione è disabilitata, gli utenti vedranno sempre il riepilogo della disponibilità quando gli elementi sono presenti in più di una sede posseduta dal loro istituto locale.
- Se è presente una sola posizione per il record, l'interfaccia visualizzerà il primo elemento disponibile di quella posizione anziché un riepilogo per mostrare che l'elemento è disponibile solo in quella singola posizione.

Additional access options, which are not highlighted in the Access Options panel are available in the item detail record.
Note: Members of a group catalog can use the View details link on the Access Options panel to view the group holdings display on the Item Details page. The View details link appears below the group holdings statement or availability display when there is no ILL or Place Hold request button configured, although an e-link or OpenURL resolver button may be present.
To disable best access options in your institution's WorldCat Discovery, contact OCLC Support.
Physical item access options
Physical access options depend on configurations in the Place Hold/Request buttons module and the OPAC Statuses, Locations, and Circulations policies modules of the OCLC Service Configuration.
In general, the Access Options panel will look at all fulfillment options available for a given record and will select the options to highlight to the user based on the lowest holding level that is available and has a fulfillment action configured to display. If no fulfillment option is available, holdings statements for a record will display.
Electronic access options
The Access Options panel will compare all electronic access options that display on an item record and choose the best option to highlight to the user. If you have configured an outgoing OpenURL resolver in the Full Text and OpenURL Resolvers (outgoing requests) module of the OCLC Service Configuration and have primary electronic links, the Access Options panel will favor the display of the primary electronic links. The outgoing OpenURL links will display under the availability section of the item details.
- Primary Elinks: Any links found in the Full Text and Open Access Links module of the OCLC Service Configuration.
- Outgoing OpenURL (Check eResource): A third party openURL, such as EBSCO SFX or ProQuest 360

Relationships in the MARC 773, 800, 810, 811, and 830 fields cataloged using a valid OCLC Control Number (OCN) in the control $w are used to determine hierarchically related records.
These relationships are displayed by default on the item detail page in the Browse related items tab.
