Toolkit downloads
Discover how to download toolkits for Connexion client.
OCLC Entities Toolkit
Download and install the OCLC Entities Toolkit to access a macro that conducts a search on a valid, uncontrolled field in a bibliographic record. The field text is used to search and display a list of possible matching WorldCat Entities that can be inserted into the bibliographic field. The system uses the field tag to determine the type of entity results to display (e.g., a 100 field will display Person, Agent, Family and Fictional Entity results).
