Why am I receiving a rate limit error when linking from a knowledge base collection to WorldCat.org?
Applies to
- WorldShare Collection Manager
- WorldCat.org
Answer
When repeatedly resolving to WorldCat.org without being signed in, you are likely to encounter a rate limit error.
To resolve this, you will need to sign into WorldCat.org using your WorldShare account. This will prevent this error and allow you to open multiple links from the WorldCat knowledge base to WorldCat.org.
To ensure your accounts has the appropriate roles to sign in using your institutional account, please check with your local administrator. If they are unavailable, reach out to OCLC Support.
