<font size=3>Dear NACO catalogers,<br><br>
Yesterday I sent two messages about how to use an "Online Constant
Data" record to create a new series authority record. One of the
messages was about how to set a *default* Online Constant Data record.
The other message was about how to *apply* this default Online Constant
Data record to a blank workform. [We are using Online Constant Data
records for new SARs because the regular series workform does not
automatically supply CtY in the 64X fields.]<br><br>
Now, if you are a MacroExpress user, I'm happy to report that there is an
even easier way to create a new SAR! Steven Arakawa and Rick Sarcia have
created a MacroExpress macro that allows you to create a new series from
scratch using the keystroke <CTRL-S>. Instructions are
below:<br><br>
1. Make sure you have the MacroExpress program loaded. The macro won't
work otherwise. Talk to your expert user if you don't have MacroExpress
and would like to use the series macro.<br><br>
2. Make sure you have set your *default* Online Constant Data record. The
macro won't work unless you have completed this step:<br>

<br>
</a>3. Download the new macro from PCAmigo and import it into your master
MacroExpress file using these instructions (or ask your expert user to do
it for you):<br>

<br><br>
4. When you are done, type <CTRL-S> in OCLC Connexion and watch as
a blank workform is automatically opened up and your constant data is
automatically applied (like magic!)<br><br>
5. Fill in the workform and save your new SAR to the Online Save File as
normal.<br><br>
