If you want to assign the new Cataloging Basic role to one of your staff members, you need to log in with the Cataloging Admin role and then assign this role to the respective user. |
The new Cataloging Basic role is now available to assign. Users that have this role assigned to their user account will have limited options in the simplified cataloging interface in Record Manager.
They will be able to:
Exporting a record will send it to an export list.
Users with the Cataloging Basic role assigned will not be able to create an export list or delete WorldCat holdings. Also, they cannot send records to a label print list, export the record to a local system via TCP/IP, or add local data. If these actions are needed for a user, the Cataloging Simplified role can be used.
You can now create records in Arabic script using the text-view editor. Previously when adding a title or a 260 field that contained Arabic script in the text-view editor, a validation error occurred.
A user with the Cataloging Full role assigned no longer has access to Institution Settings to update Audience Level or LHR Change History settings for WMS libraries. Only users with the Cataloging Admin role can access Institution Settings. Previously, both Cataloging Full and Cataloging Admin would be able to access Institution Settings.
WorldCat Validation release notes provide current OCLC-MARC updates; changes to tagging conventions and coding practices for Bibliographic, Authority, and Holdings records; and new MARC codes.
