De vermenging van verschillende soorten inhoud in Worldcat die hiermee verder wordt doorgezet maakt het wel steeds belangrijker om de speciale zoektabs en/of faceted search te gebruiken. Zoeken met het 'everything'-tabblad is gevaarlijk door het verschillende niveau waarop de soorten documenten zijn geïndexeerd. Door de grotere hoeveelheid geïndexeerde tekst (met samenvattingen van plm 100 woorden bv.) hebben artikelen (van plm. 10 pagina's ) een grotere kans in het zoekresultaat te komen dan boeken (250 pagina's geïndexeerd op vaak niet meer dan een titel van plm. 10 woorden). Gelukkig biedt Worldcat wel goede refine opties.
Verder is in Worldcat zoeken in de full text van de JSTOR-artikelen voor zover ik kan zien nu niet mogelijk zoals dat in de native interface en ook al tijden bij Google Scholar wel het geval is. Die mogelijkheid kan men name bij zoektochten naar oudere teksten soms belangrijk zijn. Daarbij is namelijk vaak geen sprake van een vast wetenschappelijk jargon en ben je vaak niet zeker van het precieze woordgebruik.

JSTOR now indexed in WorldCat.org
DUBLIN, Ohio, USA, 15 January 2010-Authenticated scholars and
researchers with online access to full-text content in JSTOR can now
locate and connect to articles through WorldCat.org.
Over 4.5 million JSTOR article-level records from more than 1,000
journals, selected monographs, and other scholarly content are now
indexed in WorldCat.org, the Web destination for discovery of materials
in libraries worldwide. JSTOR records are delivered in WorldCat.org
search results. Scholars and researchers using WorldCat.org can now
identify content in JSTOR and connect to the full-text using the
authorization provided by their library.
"JSTOR is invaluable for researchers and scholars around the world,"
said Jay Jordan, OCLC President and CEO. "OCLC is honored to partner
with JSTOR in this endeavor, which will significantly increase the
visibility and availability of these digital resources via the Internet.
This is an important advance for the international scholarly community."
WorldCat.org is a Web destination with search and social networking
features that allow information seekers to discover, localize, and
personalize content from local collections and those of more than 10,000
WorldCat libraries worldwide. WorldCat.org indexing of JSTOR metadata
helps researchers easily identify resources in the collection alongside
other materials relevant to their work. An authorization is required for
access to full-text materials in JSTOR.
"Users want to access important scholarly content in myriad ways," said
Michael Spinella, JSTOR Managing Director. "Millions of WorldCat.org
users around the world will now be able to locate the content in JSTOR
licensed by their libraries quickly and easily. This is a fantastic
development that we believe will serve OCLC member libraries and their
communities well."
WorldCat is the world's largest database of bibliographic information
built continuously by libraries around the world since 1971. Each record
in the WorldCat database contains a bibliographic description of a
single item or work and a list of institutions that hold the item. The
institutions share these records, using them to create local catalogs,
arrange interlibrary loans and conduct reference work.
There are now more than 165 million records in WorldCat spanning five
millennia of recorded knowledge. Like the knowledge it describes,
WorldCat grows steadily. Every second, OCLC and its member libraries add
seven records to WorldCat.
