<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">With Northwestern's recent move from Voyager to Alma, workers here lost the use of the cataloger's toolkit program. To help them out a bit, I have ported a couple parts of that program a new tool that can be used within the OCLC Connexion
client. This tool offers substantial assistance with the creation and modification of records in the LC/NACO Authority File; it is available for use by anyone who's interested. (Other than the fact that it's OCLC-specific, there's nothing system-specific about
this tool; local system is irrelevant.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Documentation for the tool, including installation instructions and so on, is available here:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__files.library.northwestern.edu_public_oclc_documentation_&d=AwMFAg&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=4ASAR1mMfRv0CeDdFSC0Qz7W-F5-sSDLVLF7uiOWIVg&m=4jWlW7eLjDSztoWfm3dJJRMssu3_zzz8FQ7QmzF_1yw&s=ky8D8l74J82nmzqJ-wxbd_OLszyqXXuN7dVmHL9DGUA&e=">

<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">I would of course be happy to hear of any questions people might have about this tool or its use; parts of the documentation that are unclear or wanting; features that might be added to it; or anything else related to it. (For example,
the automatic generation of a preliminary 678 field from bits of information scattered around the authority record was suggested only last week, resulting in a flurry of activity and soon enough a useful new feature. Keep the ideas coming!)<o:p></o:p></p>
