From the OCLC-Cataloging list. Note that the changes that affect most
catalogers are listed in section 2. for Connexion Client 1.6, not section
1. Connexion browser. Those non-roman catalogers who have begun to
catalog on Connexion will have noticed that if a 10 digit 020 is entered,
"final action" will cause Connexion to automatically enter a
2nd 020 with 13 digits. Those who just search and export will begin to
see multiple 020s, one with10 digits and one with 13 digits (retain
both).<br><br>

<ul>
<li>To accommodate the ongoing growth of the WorldCat database, OCLC will
change the format of the 001 in OCLC MARC bibliographic records starting
with OCLC record number 100 million. Starting November 12, 2006, all OCLC
systems, products, and services will be ready to handle the new format.

<font face="Times New Roman, Times"><b>Enhancements to Metadata
Extraction and Creation
<ul>
<li>Extract metadata for MP3 files</b></font> <br><br>
<li><font face="Times New Roman, Times">You can extract metadata from a
file in the MP3 format in addition to the .htm, .html, .pdf and .doc
formats previously supported. The browser extracts metadata from an
electronic file and inserts the data into a Sound Recordings workform
(Type: j) to produce a preliminary record for you to edit and complete.
Go to Cataloging/Create Options/Extract metadata to catalog electronic
documents stored on a local server or the Internet. You must change Type:
from “j” to “i” if the file is not music.
<li><b>Change in bibliographic format for metadata extracted from files
in an .htm or .html format</b></font> <br><br>
<li><font face="Times New Roman, Times">When you extract metadata from a
file in an .html or .htm format, the browser inserts the data into a
Continuing Resources workform instead of a Books workform, and codes the
workform as an integrating resource (Type: a/BLvl: i). An updating web
site is an example of an integrating resource. Metadata extracted from a
file in a .pdf or .doc format will continue to be added to a Books
workform (Type: a/BLvl: m).
<li><b>“Standardized” notes and 007 field automatically supplied for
records created via Metadata Extraction</b></font> <br><br>
<li><font face="Times New Roman, Times">In addition to extracting
metadata from a file in a .pdf or an .html/.htm format and inserting it
into a bibliographic workform, the browser automatically supplies some
notes required by AACR2. Examples include: Title from title screen
(viewed on [current date]); Mode of access: World Wide Web. The 007 field
for electronic resources is automatically supplied on any workform
created through the extraction process.</font>
</ul><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times"><b>Guided entry for fields 541 and
583 for archival materials</b></font> <br><br>
<ul>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">If you routinely work with archival
materials, use guided entry to create or edit MARC fields 541 and 583 for
easy data entry. Select the + to the left of a 541 or 583 field to open
guided entry.<br><br>
</ul><b>Authority history for LC Names and Subjects</b></font>
<ul>
<ul>
<li><font face="Times New Roman, Times">Use the authority history
database to view superseded versions of records in order to trace the
changes made to a given authority heading and/or the history of an LCCN.
This information provides a way to easily identify issues arising from
the distribution of authority records from the Library of Congress.
Access to authority history is available to all cataloging users and is
read-only. You may copy and paste or print information from superseded
authority records.</font>
<li><font face="Times New Roman, Times">Go to
Authorities/Search/Authority History or Authorities/Browse/Authority
History to find Authority History records. To toggle between records in
the Authorities and the Authority History files, open the currently
distributed authority record from an associated authority history record
or vice versa by selecting View/Authority Record or View/Authority
History Record.</font>
</ul>
</ul><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times"><b>Changes to controlling
headings:</b></font>
<ul>
<ul>
<li><font face="Times New Roman, Times">Full mode users will now be able
to control more headings in bibliographic records. Previously, if
the act of controlling a heading resulted in any type of a change (i.e.,
terminal punctuation), users were unable to replace the master
record. Now, if the heading you are attempting to control results
in no change to the *normalized heading* (the heading text), you can
replace the master record. Changes in capitalization, diacritics,
punctuation, or first indicator value are ignored.
<li>Previously, when attempting to control headings containing a '$'
(dollar sign), the process of controlling resulted in either the
incorrect omission of the '$' in the controlled heading, or the inability
to control the heading to the correct heading containing a '$'. This
problem has been resolved. An example of a heading containing
a $ is: P$C (Musical group)
<li>Previously, when attempting to control headings containing a '+'
(plus sign), the process of controlling resulted in the incorrect
omission of the '+' when the controlled heading was inserted into the
bibliographic record. However, when clicking on the controlled heading in
the bibliographic record, the authority record would correctly show the
'+' sign. This problem has been resolved. Examples of
headings containing a + sign are: A+ $c (Vocalist) ; Coastal Safety +
Environmental (Firm)</font>
</ul>
</ul><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times"><b>[CHILDREN’S] label added to
Authority Searching Results:</b></font> <br><br>
<ul>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">When searching the authority file,
the label [CHILDREN'S] is now displayed in search result lists next to
entries associated with Children's subject authority headings (010 prefix
'sj', and 008/15 = b). Previously it was difficult to distinguish
these headings from other Library of Congress Subject authority
records. Please note: the [CHILDREN'S] label is not presented when
browsing the authority file. <br><br>
</ul><b>Search Authority LCCN with or without hyphen<br><br>
</b>You now have the flexibility to include or exclude the hyphen when
searching the authority file by LCCN, which makes searching LCCN's for
bibliographic and authority records consistent.<br><br>
<b>Records with non-Latin script suppressed</b> <br><br>
<ul>
Non-Latin script data in a WorldCat record does not display when you open
the record using the Connexion browser. “Non-Latin script
suppressed” displays in the upper right of the record. You cannot
lock or replace these records; however, you can continue to locally edit
and export them. You must continue to use the Connexion client
interface to replace master records in WorldCat that contain non-Latin
script.<br><br></font>
</ul> <br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times"><b>Choose Fields to Delete on
Export</b></font> <br><br>
<ul>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">You can choose fields to delete from
authority and bibliographic records that you export from the Cataloging
tab. Go to General/Preferences/Export options to make your choices.
You can choose any combination of single fields and/or ranges of fields
that fit your needs. This is an excellent method for leaving out fields
that you do not want to use in your local system.<br><br>
</ul><b>Find in a Library link</b></font> <br><br>
<ul>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">From a displayed WorldCat record in
Connexion browser, select "Display Find in a Library" from the
View list to display the Find in a Library service at WorldCat.org in a
new window. Use the screen to locate WorldCat libraries that hold the
work described in the current record and to link directly to library
OPACs. You can also access cover art, information on alternative formats
(large print, audiobooks, etc.), user reviews and other evaluative
content.<br><br></font>

<font face="Times New Roman, Times">The following changes impact users of
Connexion client 1.60, which is OCLC's Windows-based interface to the
Connexion service. These changes are made at the OCLC host and are
automatically available to you; you do not need to install software on
your workstations. Additional changes will be coming in the new

You can extract metadata from a file in the MP3 format in addition to the

with Connexion client 1.60 the data is inserted into a Books workform
instead of a Sound Recordings workform. Except for the URL, which

<ul>
<li><font face="Times New Roman, Times">Previously, when editing in the
Control Headings window while controlling headings in Connexion client,
you were required to enter a dollar sign ($) as a subfield
delimiter. Now, you are required to use the same double dagger
subfield delimiter in the Control Headings window as you do in records
and other windows in the client.</font>

Full-mode users can add or change non-Latin script fields in full-level
