[yul-naco] OCLC Macrobook Revision

[Bourassa, Dominique]

Steven,

I downloaded the file. It worked. The problem is that when I generate an authority record from the tool menu, the "Rules" should say z not c. The subfield $e rda is fine. When I create an authority record from scratch everything is fine: the "Rules" says z.

Announced today. The download instructions worked for me. Unless you catalog directly in OCLC, it's the last macro (GenerateAuthorityRecord) that will be a useful update for our NACO work, since the glitch that prevented coding of rda when the source record had a 264 field has been fixed. (This is the macro where you select the bibliographic field of the name you want to establish, click the icon, and a new authority record is created with $e rda and Desc rules c. )  Be sure your preferences are set for RDA in Connexion (Tools-->Options-->Select RDA tab and check off all the boxes) before you download.

If you catalog directly in OCLC, you may find macros 1 and 2 to be useful.

OCLC is pleased to announce that an updated version of the OCLC macrobook for the Connexion client is now available for download at: http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/connexion/oclc.mbk

This macrobook contains revisions to the following three macros:


1)      Add33x - Updated to pre-select common menu choices based on coding in the fixed-field and 300 $a

2)      Generate043 - Updated to include more places and accommodate changes in names

3)      GenerateAuthorityRecord - Updated to generate name authority records with RDA coding and prompt for the addition of attribute information, etc.


When you click on the link, select "save" on the pop-up box, and then save the macro to the folder containing other Connexion client macros, i.e., /Program Files/OCLC/Connexion/Program/Macros.  If you are asked if you wish to replace the existing oclc.mbk, respond with "yes".  That's all that is needed.  Your macrobook will then be updated to include the revisions  noted.
