- WorldcatWorldcat is a huge catalog books held by academic libraries. Many of these books are available through interlibrary loan. One of the benefits of using Worldcat is that it will retrieve records for both simplified and traditional characters.
When you are using library catalogs you need to be aware that library systems use a different word division than most Sinologists. Libraries divide up each syllable except for names and place names. When in doubt, search using Chinese characters and check the results.
