Key Message No 1 New WebCat development launched
by Janess Stewart 27 Jun '07

27 Jun '07

Good afternoon Over the next few weeks National Library will send out a series of key messages about the new services which your library, as a Te Puna subscriber, is encouraged to use. Today we talk about the WebCat development that was so well-received at the recent Road Shows up and down the country WebCat now has the ability to save records from remote databases to Te Puna when the relevant record is not found in Te Puna. You can then add your library’s holding and retrieve records as you currently do. This new WebCat functionality was expressly developed by National Library to support the OCLC initiative, as a way of providing New Zealand libraries with access to a greatly extended range of bibliographic records. For contractual reasons links to WorldCat will not be available until 1 July, but we are pleased to let you have a preview of the functionality by providing links to two other databases unhindered in this way. For those who would like to look at how this will work you can now save records from: · National Bibliographic Archive · Libraries Australia Bibliographic Database · Others will follow You can either go into Te Puna and trial it for yourself or look at some screen shots at http://subscribers.natlib.govt.nz/news/future.htm The click on WEBCAT GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT Points to note: New buttons are labelled: o REDO your search on OCLC WorldCat (next to search button - if your search returned no results) o Import from Gateway (Far left on top toolbar) o Save this record to the NBD (immediately above the Detailed/MARC view of the record) When you are in a remote database the screen is coloured slate grey and blue, and a message about which database you are using is displayed at the top of the result set You will know when you have been successful in saving the record from the remote database of your choice when you are back with the familiar pink and blue WebCat colour scheme. The Webcat development uses Z39.50 capability and here are some search tips to help you get started when connected to Worldcat’s Z39.50 server using Webcat: http://www.oclc.org/support/documentation/z3950/searchtips/ Digital Solutions National Library of New Zealand P.O.

OCLC initiative: mid-May progress report
by Janess Stewart 16 May '07

16 May '07

Good afternoon Te Puna users (this message is posted on TePuna-L; nz-libs and CATSIG) Thank you to those librarians who have sent the National Library questions about the OCLC initiative. Last week was a bumper crop. If you, too, would like to find the answers to such questions as: * If we update any serial holdings in NUC, will we also have to amend them in OCLC? * Will OCLC be set up as a gateway through Te Puna like ABN or will we access OCLC independently via the Connexion Client/Cat Express etc? * How do I find out my library symbol on OCLC and what happens if I want different holdings shown on WorldCat to the NUC? you will need to go to the latest FAQ ( http://subscribers.natlib.govt.nz/news/future.htm ) for the answers If your question has not yet been posed please get in touch with either Ruth Miller (ruth.miller(a)natlib.govt.nz)or Sarah Barnett (sarah.barnett(a)natlib.govt.nz) What else is happening? On Thursday 17 May a number of Wellington librarians have kindly agreed to form a working group to review the documentation that will be supplied to libraries as part of the June OCLC Roadshow. The Road Show will promote the agreement, answer any questions and help libraries decide on what cataloguing workflow will be best for them. Watch this space for Roadshow information in the coming weeks. Ruth Miller Customer Support Consultant Digital Solutions National Library of New Zealand P.O.

OCLC initiative: More questions and answers
by Janess Stewart 11 May '07

11 May '07

This message has been posted on Te Puna-L; NZ-LIBS and CATSIG The National Library is pleased at the level of interest that is being shown in the OCLC initiative by librarians around the country. As a result, we have fielded a number of new questions and have endeavoured to find useful answers for potential users of OCLC's cataloguing services. To make it easy for you to see the new queries we have placed them at the top of the OCLC FAQ (which you will find at http://subscribers.natlib.govt.nz/news/future.htm ), rather than integrating them. Each new batch will be highlighted in this way. Keep those questions coming! Ruth Miller Customer Support Consultant Digital Solutions National Library of New Zealand P.O.
