[Yulcat-l] OCLC Documentation for SCIPIO

[Steven Arakawa]

This is a follow-up to the previous announcement regarding the merger 
of the SCIPIO database into WorldCat. If you look at the expanded 
list of indexes in the Search WorldCat window under Keyword/Numeric 
Search in the Connexion client, the SCIPIO-specific indexes all have 
a SCIPIO prefix. Searching can be restricted to SCIPIO records (click 
on the Settings button), but I don't think there is a way to exclude 
them from a search.

Cataloging Authorization Levels
A reference card (4 pp.) listing (1) cataloging activities authorized 
for each OCLC authorization level, including Search, Limited, Full, 
and higher, and (2) types of master record updates authorized for 
Full and higher authorizations. Covers both the Connexion browser and client.

Use SCIPIO Records
Two guides to using SCIPIO records, one for the 
<http://www.oclc.org/support/documentation/connexion/browser/cataloging/scipio_records/>Connexion 
browser and the other for the 
<http://www.oclc.org/support/documentation/connexion/client/cataloging/specializedrecords/>Connexion 
client. SCIPIO: Art and Rare Book Sales is a database of records 
merged into WorldCat on Sept. 16, as described in a previous OCLC message.

Note: We plan to keep you informed of new and substantially updated 
Connexion documentation via this list as well as the OCLC Docupdate 
and Techbul lists and system news entries under the category "Cataloging."

Thanks!
