1. The old training manual entitled Orbis2 Cataloging has been updated
and given a new title: <b>Orbis Cataloging Using Voyager</b>.<br><br>
A link has been added to the update at the general Voyager policies and
procedures page:<br><br>
<a href="http://www.library.yale.edu/cataloging/indexgeneral.htm" eudora="autourl">
http://www.library.yale.edu/cataloging/indexgeneral.htm</a><br><br>
It is item 1. in the Voyager section. <br><br>
Direct link:<br><br>
<a href="http://www.library.yale.edu/cataloging/Orbis2Manual/Orbis2Cat_1.2Rev06.doc" eudora="autourl">
http://www.library.yale.edu/cataloging/Orbis2Manual/Orbis2Cat_1.2Rev06.doc<br>
<br>
</a>Some noteworthy revisions:<br><br>
a. Examples reflect Voyager 5.0. Editing guidelines are consistent with
Unicode compliant version of Voyager and incorporate the Voyager 5.0
guidelines for entering diacritics.<br>
b. Common Macro Express shortcuts are given preference over labor
intensive menu-driven routines.<br>
c. New, detailed guidelines and scenarios for using keyword and builder
searches to support cataloging.<br>
d. More searching examples. <br>
e. More Acq in Cat strategies, including how to view serial items
received on predictive checkin. <br><br>
Recommended for supervisors or delegated trainers who need a thorough
walk through of Voyager cataloging features for new staff, and as a
reference source for experienced staff who want to learn about new
features or need a refresher on rarely used features. It is also hoped
that by placing the Macro Express shortcuts up front, more new staff will
take advantage of them.<br><br>
The document has been reviewed by the Cataloging Coordination Council and
the Catalog Policy and Documentation Committee, but if you notice any
sections that require correction or clarification, please let me know.
Presumably the document will require further updating when Voyager 6.0 is
available. <br><br>
2. Cartographic links. <br><br>
On the Cataloging at Yale:Special Formats page, a section on local
procedures for Cartographic Materials has been added (you will probably
need to scroll down toward the bottom of the page)<br><br>

On the Tools & Resources page (Nonbook Cataloging), many additional
resource links have been added to the Cartographic Resources
section:<br><br>
