I. Cat Client Update Class.

Rita and Louise taught the class that the Cat Client Training Group will be giving in early December, covering the features of the new client.

1. Default search with "start search" button is now Boolean "and," not phrase search

Example: TITL gone wind

--Calls up all records with words "gone" and "wind" somewhere in a title field

--Look for record with the title "The wind done gone" to illustrate this example

Example: TITL "gone with the wind"

--Can still do phrase searching by enclosing phrase in quotation marks

--Calls up all bibliographic records with the phrase "gone with the wind" in a title field

Example: NAMZ harris and TITL chocolat

--Can still combine different qualifiers/indexes

2. JTTL

--Searches most title fields in records coded as serials

Example: JTTL science [start search]

Example: JTTL science [left-justified, browse]

3. Reverse date of publication default order

Example: TITL chocolate [start search]

--From 008

--Dates ending in "9999" file first

4. Wild cards

? = multiple characters missing; middle or end of word

# = single character missing; middle or end of word [NOTE: used to be *]

Example: TITL wom#n work?

--woman/women/etc.

--work/works/worker(s)/working/etc.

Example: TITL "work? wom#n"

--Can use with phrase searching

Example: JTTL americ? scien?

Example: TITL work? wom#n [keyword, browse]

--Works with Browse searching (keyword only)

5. Call number searching

1. CALH

--Same as old "CALN" search

--Set for holdings records

--Use "start search" button

Example: CALH PC11

--Need to sort to put in order (limit of 1000 records)

--Remember idiosyncrasies in display order:

PC1159

PC117

PC1171

2. CALN

1. Help screens

Example: [F1] OR Click on [Help]

--Can use new Help Screens for guidance

--Same information as in DRA Cataloging User’s Guide

LIS web site:

http://www.library.ucla.edu/units/lis/index.html#02

--Local qualifiers/indexes not listed, because they are UCLA-specific

--[F1] is context-sensitive

--SHOW: "book" tab

--SHOW: "key" tab

--Can use new Help Screens for guidance

2. Miscellaneous

1. Customizing workform display

Example: [Options]; [Settings]; [Workform Display]

--Usage similar to setting other hitlist displays

--Can use Help screens for guidance

--Information also in User’s Guide pg. 45-48 (LIS web site)

--Can now customize display of workforms listed in Activity Navigator

2. Hitlist display

--[Options]; [Settings]; [Hitlist display]

--Additional headers added to hitlist options

3. MARC21 updates

Example: NATI harris chocolat

--[View]; [Labeled display]; [General information]

--Terminology is now according to MARC21

--All record formats have been updated to use definitions and labels from MARC21

4. Toolbar changes

--New toolbar additions: Print, Print preview, Next, Previous

--"Next" and "Previous" take you to next and previous windows which you have opened (not next and previous records in a hitlist; same right- and left-arrow buttons still exist for that)

5. Print preview

Catalogers Group meeting dates for December will be the 13th and 20th.
